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.

Fidelity International Analyst: Oil Prices May Remain Elevated in the Short Term, Expected to Stay Within $90-$120 Range
Gate News reported on March 18 that Salman Ahmed, analyst at Fidelity International, stated in a webinar that short-term oil demand is highly inelastic, and prices may remain elevated in the near term. He pointed out that oil prices are expected to remain in the range of $90 to $120, despite risks of further spikes. Ahmed believes that global central banks still have time to respond to the impact of Middle East conflicts, which may provide reasons for central banks to remain cautious.
