Democrats have won control of both chambers of the US Congress in the midterm elections, reversing a Republican trend and causing Bitcoin to fall below $77,000 amid fears of regulatory hostility towards crypto. The Democratic majority raises uncertainty for crypto regulation as the Clarity Act was blocked, but SEC and CFTC regulatory activity may still provide guidance.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
US crypto founders face a shift as Democrats take Congress and block a major crypto clarity bill, but enforcement and regulation will likely come through SEC and CFTC actions rather than new laws. Adjust your regulatory approach to focus on agency guidance and compliance rather than expecting clear legislative rules soon.
