Crypto PACs spend over $1.5 million on media for four US House and Senate primary races

The Defend American Jobs and Protect Progress political action committees, which are aligned with the cryptocurrency industry, announced they have committed over $1.5 million to media purchases.

The spending targets four congressional contests – two House seats and two Senate seats – scheduled for primary elections on Aug 18.

The PACs said the funds will be used for television, digital and other advertising to influence voter decisions ahead of the primaries.

This follows a broader pattern of crypto‑related groups directing significant resources toward U.S. elections after earlier investments in state‑level races.
