Daily Observation of Cryptocurrency Concept Stocks: Senate Confidential Poll Exposed, "Officials Profiting" and Political Red Lines Become the Biggest Stalemate Before Bill Vote
As legislation enters a critical phase, how to promote compliance while preventing political elites from profiting from cryptocurrency has become the flashpoint for the breakdown of negotiations between the two parties.On the eve of a crucial preliminary vote in the U.S. Congress next week on the federal regulatory reform bill for digital assets (such as the CLARITY Act), a secret internal poll circulated among Democrats has been exposed. The poll shows that the approval rating of primary voters within the party for the crypto industry has plummeted to a freezing point, even lower than that for traditional oil and gas giants and Wall Street. As legislation enters deeper waters, how to advance compliance while preventing political elites from profiting from crypto assets has become the flashpoint for the breakdown of bipartisan negotiations.
Internal Poll Exposed: 84% of Voters Disapprove of Crypto Political Donations
According to Semafor, Senate Democrats are currently circulating a previously undisclosed authoritative polling report internally.
This survey, conducted by the well-known polling agency Normington Petts among 800 primary voters nationwide, shows that Democratic primary voters have a lower approval rating for cryptocurrencies than for traditional oil companies, Wall Street, and the data center industry. Even more alarming for Congress members is that as many as 84% of respondents hold a clearly negative view of candidates who receive funding support from the crypto industry. This deep grassroots backlash has directly led to a significant retreat in the attitudes of many moderate lawmakers ahead of the upcoming vote on crypto legislation.
Vote Approaching: Federal Regulatory Reform Faces Three Major Cliffs
Despite facing public opinion resistance, lawmakers still plan to hold a preliminary vote next week on a draft involving permanent reforms to the federal agency's regulation of digital assets.
However, the Senate remains divided on three core terms, making it difficult to bridge the gaps:
Illegal finance and anti-money laundering penetration: Law enforcement insists on establishing stricter transaction review mechanisms for decentralized channels;
Restrictions on stablecoin yield distribution: Traditional commercial banking groups strongly demand a ban on stablecoin issuers directly distributing yields to retail investors;
Officials' profits and ethical red lines: How to strictly limit Trump and other current elected officials from profiting through crypto projects and token issuance has become the sharpest and most irreconcilable point of contention in the current bipartisan struggle.
Political Risks Transmitted to the Secondary Market
Based on the trends in Washington in early August, crypto assets are no longer merely a financial innovation topic in Washington but have evolved into a highly sensitive political and ethical battleground. For the secondary market, if next week's preliminary vote is stalled due to political interests, not only will the implementation of compliance bills like the CLARITY Act be indefinitely delayed, but those crypto concept stocks (such as Trump Media) that are stuck at high levels and hoping for compliance dividends to unlock will also face a longer liquidity test and governance risks.
