Cryptocurrency lobbying group Fairshake is likely to play a key role in Senator Thom Tillis's 2026 re-election campaign

According to Jinse Finance, Fairshake, a cryptocurrency lobbying group, is likely to play a pivotal role in Senator Thom Tillis’s 2026 re-election campaign, which is expected to cost nearly $1 billion. Last week, Tillis signed the BankingGOP’s market structure principles, and he has previously introduced the PROOF Act on crypto proof of reserves as well as a discussion draft on illicit finance. Representative Wiley Nickel’s pro-crypto record in the House may now put him directly on Fairshake’s radar. It will be interesting to see who the Republican opponent will be.
