The results of the U.S. midterm elections are beginning to ripple through the crypto market.
The Democrats have regained control of the House of Representatives, and Robert Garcia is set to chair the House Oversight Committee. His first words on the job were “Lawyer up,” aimed squarely at the Trump family’s business interests.
The main focus this time is the Trump family’s crypto ventures, especially World Liberty Financial.
The Democrats plan to investigate the Trump family’s crypto transactions and Donald Trump Jr.’s business dealings.
A controversial investment of around $500 million in WLFI by a member of the UAE royal family could also become a focus of the investigation.
WLFI is seeking a U.S. national bank charter, and the approval process falls under the U.S. Treasury’s regulatory system.
Starting next February, the Democrats plan to question and subpoena the companies involved and their donors.
What truly matters to the market is not just whether the Trump family will face political pressure, but the relationship between the crypto industry and U.S. regulators.
Trump has long pushed to make the United States a crypto hub, but now the family’s own crypto business could become the subject of a congressional investigation.
If the investigation escalates, it could affect WLFI’s application for a bank charter, its business partnerships, and even market expectations for the entire Trump-affiliated crypto ecosystem.
