David McCabe and Theodore Schleifer report:
Two years ago, a top pro-cryptocurrency super PAC spent $41 million on ads to help defeat Sherrod Brown, then Ohio’s incumbent Democratic senator. 
On Tuesday, those results were reversed. Even though the super PAC, Fairshake, spent $46 million on ads against Mr. Brown, he won the election against the Republican, Senator Jon Husted, by a healthy margin. 
It was a rare loss for the crypto industry, which has developed a reputation as a political heavyweight and prospered with a laissez-faire regulatory environment under President Trump.
