Crypto journalists say the midterm elections are unfavorable for crypto, with several pro-crypto lawmakers losing their seats

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett published an article summarizing the key results of the U.S. midterm elections, stating that the outcomes are generally unfavorable for the Republican Party and the crypto industry. She pointed out that despite over $64 million invested by the crypto industry, it was unable to prevent Sherrod Brown from returning to the Senate, where Brown may gain a leadership position on a committee with jurisdiction over crypto issues. Sherrod Brown previously served as the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and holds significant influence over legislation and regulation of digital assets.Eleanor Terrett noted that Brown is cautious and even skeptical about crypto, emphasizing that consumer and investor protection should take priority. He advocates for enhanced information disclosure, segregation of customer assets, combating conflicts of interest, and anti-money laundering measures, opposing industry-led lax legislation. While he does not outright reject reforms on stablecoins and market structure, he insists that the regulatory framework must become stricter and not dilute the standards of traditional financial markets.Additionally, pro-crypto representatives Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and Ann Wagner were defeated, and Mike Lawler has conceded to Cait Conley, although the Associated Press has yet to make a final determination on New York's 17th congressional district. Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, helped the Democrats secure a Senate majority that exceeded expectations. After the Republican Party lost control of the Senate, Tim Scott is expected to transition from chairman of the Banking Committee to minority leader; the outcome in French Hill's district has not yet been determined, but it appears he may narrowly win and is expected to become minority leader, with the chairmanship taken over by Maxine Waters. Pete Ricketts won in Nebraska, and Andy Barr secured the vacant Senate seat in Kentucky, succeeding Mitch McConnell and potentially competing for a position on the Banking Committee.

He Yi responded to the doubts about the Girlfriend Coin and its listing, stating that personal relationships cannot determine the listing of a coin

Binance co-founder He Yi responded to rumors stating that she does indeed know Wan Hui, co-founder of the crypto venture capital firm Primitive Ventures, but there is no so-called situation of a close friend accompanying childbirth. She stated that even her own mother could not push a project to go live on Binance solely based on personal relationships; if a project succeeds solely due to personal connections, it indicates that Binance's own review capabilities are insufficient.He Yi also mentioned that there have been very few good projects in the cryptocurrency industry in recent years, with BNB being one of them, deserving of the trust of those who believe in Binance, but investment trading does not guarantee profits without losses. The era of 2017, where everything bought would rise, was a time of dividends, and very few remain now. The 2019 IEO was an exception because DEX had not developed at that time, and Binance had bargaining power; after DEX developed, Western VCs raised the prices of VC tokens.She further stated that Binance has never actively adopted unscrupulous methods to compete for market share in the past few years, and has always taken a straightforward defensive strategy in the face of competition. If anyone thinks they have not done well, they are welcome to criticize directly. Regarding IEOs, she said that at that time, market liquidity was concentrated on Binance, and the platform had a strong market dominance, which is why the issuance prices of new projects were generally low, giving participants the opportunity to gain profits.
