Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan flagged the generational shift in the new U.S. Congress as a long-term variable for crypto policy after the midterm elections, noting the newly elected senators are on average 14 years younger than those departing and that senators under 50 rose from 8 to 15, while at least 94 Gen Z and millennial members joined the House. Hougan said in a CIO memo he is "not worried long term," arguing that lawmakers' age and crypto stance matter more than party seat counts, citing younger generations' experience holding digital assets such as those surveyed by Charles Schwab. The incoming Congress follows Democratic gains in both chambers. Investors should watch how the younger cohort's attitudes shape future digital-asset legislation.
