Crypto critic Warren in power: Why Trump is now coming into focus

Senator Elizabeth Warren has taken over the Senate Banking Committee, elevating one of Washington's most vocal crypto critics to a key oversight role. Warren is expected to target prediction markets and President Trump's crypto business interests, signaling tougher scrutiny for the sector. The shift matters because the committee oversees banking and digital asset policy, giving Warren a powerful platform to shape legislation and probe industry practices. Market participants should watch for hearings and proposed rules affecting prediction-market platforms and Trump-linked crypto ventures.
