Democratic victories in either chamber of Congress could bring investigations of Wall Street banks, crypto firms, prediction markets and financial regulators. Polls suggest Democrats are poised to win the House and have an edge in the Senate race. A victory would give Democrats subpoena power, larger investigative staffs and the ability to summon agency heads and corporate CEOs. Reuters reported that Democrats are already preparing to investigate President Donald Trump's and his family's ties to crypto and prediction markets. Democratic control would not stop the administration from granting regulatory relief, but investigations could create legal costs and reputational risks.
