According to Bloomberg, over the past two years, the cryptocurrency industry has enjoyed a rare political advantage in Washington: the U.S. President has prioritized digital assets as a national priority, regulators have paved the way for it, and the Republican-controlled Congress has been sympathetic to its agenda. With the Democratic Party's significant victory in the midterm elections and control of Congress, the cryptocurrency industry is facing stricter rules and closer scrutiny of Trump's cryptocurrency business, and its political advantage is waning.The Democratic Party has indicated plans to impose stricter ethical constraints, stronger consumer protections, and to give the SEC a greater role in regulating digital assets. Cryptocurrency critics Maxine Waters and Elizabeth Warren are expected to wield greater influence in the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee, respectively. However, many of the cryptocurrency industry's achievements are difficult to reverse, such as the stablecoin bill which requires new legislation to be repealed.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that after the Democratic Party won both houses of the U.S. Congress, significant progress in key digital asset legislation is still expected to be difficult, and the leadership of congressional committees will also change. He mentioned that Elizabeth Warren may become the chair of the Senate Banking Committee, while Maxine Waters is expected to regain control of the House Financial Services Committee.Several Republican lawmakers who support the crypto industry were defeated, but the pro-crypto camp did not suffer a complete loss. According to Stand With Crypto, 19 pro-crypto senators and 226 pro-crypto representatives have been elected. Tracking by Molly White shows that in 12 highly competitive elections, the side supported by crypto and AI political action committees lost 9, but won all in the safer 40 elections.Reports indicate that House Democrats are discussing expanding Waters' previously proposed "Crypto Investor Consumer Rights Act" into a broader crypto market structure bill. Thorn reiterated that no substantial progress is expected in Congress on key digital asset legislation. In the absence of legislation, the SEC, CFTC, and banking regulators have clarified crypto rules within their existing statutory authority, and the Trump administration still has two years to continue advancing related work.
