The upcoming U.S. midterm elections are poised to impact both former President Trump's political standing and the trajectory of cryptocurrency policy. Historically, the president's party loses seats in midterms, with 90% of elections since 1946 resulting in such outcomes. Current predictions suggest Democrats may gain control of the House, while Republicans could retain the Senate, leading to a divided government. For the crypto sector, this scenario implies a shift from legislative to executive actions. Trump could leverage executive orders to influence crypto regulations, bypassing congressional approval. Key appointments to regulatory bodies like the SEC and CFTC could also proceed if Republicans hold the Senate. However, major legislative efforts, such as the CLARITY Act and Stablecoin Bill, face delays, potentially stalling until after 2026 if not passed by summer. The crypto industry has invested heavily in the midterms, with $288 million in political spending aimed at advancing legislation. Despite potential setbacks, the sector remains optimistic about long-term regulatory progress, acknowledging Trump's crypto-friendly stance as a significant shift from previous administrations.
