The second annual Stand With Crypto Day will take place in Washington, D.C., on September 18, featuring a performance by The Chainsmokers at The Black Cat.

This event marks the culmination of the Stand With Crypto Alliance’s America Loves Crypto Tour, which began on September 4, 2024, in Arizona and has been making its way through several key swing states.

According to the digital asset advocacy group, the tour is mobilizing “4 million crypto voters” across states like Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Each stop features concert events aimed at raising awareness and encouraging voter participation in the upcoming elections.

The Chainsmokers to Headline Stand With Crypto Day in D.C.

The America Loves Crypto Tour will wrap up with Stand With Crypto Day on September 18 at The Black Cat in Washington, D.C., where pop duo The Chainsmokers are set to perform.

Notable performers such as rapper Big Sean, pop artist Lauv, singer-songwriter Jessie Murph, and rapper 070 Shake have headlined other tour stops along the way.

A statement on the advocacy group’s website emphasizes the importance of amplifying the crypto community’s voice: “Elected officials need to recognize the crypto community’s passion, demands, and readiness to hold them accountable. We must unify and ensure our calls for change are heard and enacted.”

America Loves Crypto Tour Reaches Key Swing States Ahead of Election

As the tour moves toward its Washington, D.C., finale, it aligns with the growing relevance of crypto issues ahead of the November 2024 elections.

With one in five voters in swing states viewing digital assets as a critical issue, Stand With Crypto Day comes at a strategic time for the movement.

Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris are currently neck and neck in national polls, with the first presidential debate scheduled for Tuesday, September 10.

According to new data from CBS, in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, both candidates are tied at 50%, while Harris holds a narrow lead in Michigan and Wisconsin.

While Harris has yet to clarify her stance on the blockchain sector, Trump has been vocal in his support of cryptocurrencies on the campaign trail, promising to enact crypto-friendly regulations and position the U.S. as a leader in the digital asset space.

“We will have regulations, but from now on, the rules will be written by the people who love your industry, not hate your industry,” Trump said in a previous statement.

With the presidential race tightening, the influence of crypto voters and policy is likely to play a pivotal role in the upcoming election.
