Despite the crypto industry investing over $170 million in this midterm election, the Democrats successfully retook control of both the House and Senate, with several key crypto industry allies losing their races, signaling a potential shift in Washington’s crypto policy landscape. In key contests, Ohio Democrat and crypto critic Sherrod Brown defeated Republican candidate Jon Husted to return to the Senate; Senator Elizabeth Warren is poised to take over as chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Pro-crypto Republican Representatives Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and Ann Wagner all failed to win re-election. While House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill is expected to keep his seat, with Democrats regaining control of the House, he is projected to lose his committee chairmanship, to be replaced by Democratic Representative Maxine Waters. Democrats’ full control of Congress will significantly increase regulatory and political scrutiny pressure on the crypto industry. The Trump administration’s relationship with crypto, the president’s family’s crypto business, and regulatory decisions by the SEC and CFTC are all likely to become key targets of congressional investigations. The chances of the crypto market structure bill passing under the current framework have dropped sharply, and future legislation is likely to incorporate more of the Democratic Party’s policy priorities.
