Crypto Industry Spends $63M to Oppose Sherrod Brown’s Senate Bid

The scale is the story: a single industry bloc has now committed more than $100 million against one Senate candidate over two years, which makes crypto policy spending look less like lobbying and more like sustained electoral infrastructure. The target matters too — Brown's Banking Committee chairmanship put him at the center of the legislation the industry opposed. The race is close enough that this money may not decide it, and whether heavy spending against a crypto-skeptic actually moves voters, rather than just signaling industry capacity, is the open question worth watching in the results.
