While winning the midterms will be a crucial step for the PAC, Tyler said via X that their overall goal is to boost efforts toward supporting crypto innovation in the U.S. President Trump and his administration have taken steps toward delivering this vision of “America’s Golden Age.”
Digital Freedom Fund eyes not just the House and Senate elections set for midterms on November 3, 2026, but also other critical pillars of Trump’s crypto agenda. These include support for legislative efforts, fighting any move for central bank digital currencies, and backing for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Project Crypto initiative.
Also in the mix is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s “Crypto Sprint.”
“We will fight for thoughtful Market Structure legislation that enshrines the freedoms that will allow the crypto industry to thrive and avoids the pitfalls of overregulation, bloated licensing regimes, and increased red tape that only serves to choke off innovation, grow the Regulatory Industrial Complex, and empower the swamp,” Tyler wrote on X.
