So far, in the House and Senate, the election of pro-crypto candidates outweighs those with anti-crypto positions.

## What’s the Scoop?
- **House Gains:** [253 pro-crypto candidates](https://www.standwithcrypto.org/races) won seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, while 115 candidates expressing anti-crypto positions were elected.
- **Senate Gains:** The Senate saw 16 pro-crypto candidates elected, with 12 anti-crypto candidates securing seats.
- **Majority of Races: **In total, across the U.S, pro-crypto candidates have been elected in 45 out of 50 states, with some races still concluding.

## Bankless Take:
Yesterday is shaping up to be a crypto sweep as the majority of elected officials bring pro-crypto or crypto-friendly policy positions with them to office. While a few key races, such as in Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada Senate, are still wrapping up, this wave of supportive officials could signal a critical juncture for our industry in the U.S. For the first election where crypto has ever really been on the ballot, these results appear truly historic.
