Why the crypto industry is spending big to stop Sherrod Brown from returning to the Senate

The cryptocurrency industry is spending heavily to prevent former Senator Sherrod Brown from returning to the Senate in Ohio, with Fairshake committing $30 million against him in 2026. Brown opposed crypto regulation as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and supported Elizabeth Warren's regulatory efforts, making him a target for the industry.
