🔍 Data from civic organizations shows that the crypto sector has spent over $200 million in this U.S. election cycle, aiming to influence the 2026 midterm elections and advance digital asset regulatory legislation. ⚖️ Two interpretations:
- If these donations do translate into legislative support, they could accelerate follow-up legislation to the Clarity Act, giving the industry clearer regulation;
- If they are merely an election campaign tool, legislative progress will remain constrained by disagreements within Congress, especially with the Clarity Act stalled in the Senate.
Key evidence for distinguishing between these scenarios includes candidates’ voting records on relevant bills after taking office, the actual progress of legislative drafts, and the timing of donations in relation to policy changes. 🤔
What remains uncertain is whether the new Congress will restart market structure legislation, and whether its final text will meet the core demands of both parties (Democrats and Republicans).
This is not investment advice.
