PANews, March 5 – According to CoinDesk, the political action committee Fairshake in the crypto industry has achieved an initial victory in the first round of the 2026 U.S. Congressional midterm primaries. Several pro-crypto candidates supported by Fairshake won in Tuesday’s primaries, including Republican Jessica Steinmann, who supported Trump and won the Texas 8th District Republican primary with nearly 70% of the vote, and House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, who received over $400,000 in ad support and easily won with 77% of the vote.
A key effort by Fairshake in this primary was to try to eliminate crypto critics, including Texas Democratic Congressman Al Green. In the redrawn 18th District, Green trailed blockchain supporter Christian Menefee in the primary. Since neither candidate received more than half the votes, a runoff will be held.

Citigroup Slashes Bitcoin and Ethereum 12-Month Price Targets, Citing Stalled U.S. Crypto Legislation Weighing on Upside Catalysts
Citigroup has lowered its 12-month price targets for Bitcoin and Ethereum, signaling a shift toward caution on the cryptocurrency market's medium-term outlook, primarily due to slow progress in U.S. crypto asset legislation. Bitcoin's target was reduced from $143,000 to $112,000, while Ethereum's fell to $3,175. Despite upside potential remaining in the future, the lack of new policy catalysts suggests prices may oscillate within a range in the near term. Citigroup's assessment of Ethereum is more cautious, as it believes the asset is more significantly impacted by on-chain activity.
