Stand With Crypto, the U.S. advocacy group, says it has logged nearly 1 million contacts with Congress. The milestone comes as a coalition of major financial firms and a large police organization press senators to advance digital asset legislation before the August recess.
The push for legislation
The group claims roughly 3 million registered advocates. That base has been calling, emailing and meeting with lawmakers. The goal: get a comprehensive crypto bill through the Senate before lawmakers leave town. The clock is tight — the August recess is just weeks away.
Who is involved
Fidelity and Goldman Sachs are among the firms leaning on senators. They're joined by a 382,000-member police organization. That's a notable alliance — Wall Street and law enforcement don't often lobby together on digital assets. The message is bipartisan: the U.S. needs clear rules to keep crypto innovation at home.
Why the timing matters
August recess is a hard deadline. If the bill doesn't pass before then, the whole effort resets in September with a packed calendar. The coalition is betting that a show of grassroots force — nearly a million contacts — can break the logjam. Stand With Crypto's organizers say the volume of outreach is already unprecedented for a crypto campaign.
What happens next
The Senate is expected to take up the legislation in the final weeks of July. Whether the coalition's pressure is enough to overcome remaining opposition will become clear very soon. For now, the phones are still ringing.
