Fellowship PAC, a pro-crypto super PAC launched last year, has appointed Jesse Spiro, Tether’s vice president of regulatory affairs, as its new chair. The move comes as the organization ramps up efforts to support candidates who favor cryptocurrency policies ahead of upcoming midterm elections.
Preparing for the next phase of election activity
According to the announcement, Fellowship PAC is expected to unveil its first round of candidate endorsements in the coming days. That timeline suggests the group is moving from organizational positioning toward direct electoral involvement, with the goal of shaping a more favorable political environment for the digital asset sector.
The appointment of a senior Tether executive is notable given the increasing overlap between crypto regulation and election-year policymaking. By placing a regulatory affairs leader at the top of the PAC, Fellowship PAC appears to be signaling a stronger focus on policy influence, candidate alignment, and broader industry representation in Washington.
Crypto’s political footprint keeps expanding
The announcement reflects a wider trend: crypto organizations are becoming more active in politics as regulatory debates intensify. Super PACs and industry-backed advocacy groups have increasingly sought to support candidates seen as more open to innovation, digital assets, and clearer rules for the sector.
For Fellowship PAC, the leadership change and impending endorsement rollout mark an important step in that strategy. As the group begins naming candidates and expanding its election efforts, market observers will be watching closely to see how much influence it can exert on the political landscape surrounding crypto.
