Democrats take House + Senate — bullish or bearish for crypto next 2 years?
The split matters more than people think. GOP had momentum on clear frameworks (FIT21, stablecoin bills). Dems historically more skeptical but some pro-crypto voices emerging.
Key variables:
• SEC leadership (Gensler's out either way)
• Stablecoin regulation timing
• Whether Warren's anti-crypto wing gains power
• DeFi enforcement priorities
Short-term: probably neutral to slightly bearish on regulatory clarity. Long-term: depends if Dems pivot to "crypto innovation" vs "crypto crackdown" mode.
Either way, institutions don't care about politics as much as ETF flows and macro liquidity. Watch the Fed, not Congress.
