Democrats won Senate and House majorities in the midterms, ending Republican control of all three branches of government and shifting the legislative landscape for crypto policy. The change in congressional leadership is significant for the industry because committee chairs and legislative priorities will now be set by Democrats, altering the outlook for pending digital-asset bills and oversight. Market participants will watch how the new majorities approach stablecoin and market-structure legislation, and whether bipartisan crypto efforts survive the transition.
