The pro-crypto Republican presidential candidate Trump won the election this week and will take office as the President of the United States on January 20th next year, and the Republican Party has also made great strides in Congress, having gained control of the Senate, and while the situation in the House of Representatives is not yet settled, the Republican Party is currently in the lead position, and if they manage to secure it, it will form a comprehensive ruling situation. It is worth noting that a Congress supportive of cryptocurrencies is taking shape. According to data released by the non-profit organization Stand With Crypto, led by Coinbase, a total of 284 pro-crypto candidates have entered Congress, of which 266 have been elected to the House of Representatives and 18 to the Senate. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted that this is the most pro-crypto Congress in U.S. history, and this election has shown a strong and widespread demand for clear regulation of digital assets, as Americans are very concerned about cryptocurrencies and hope to establish clear rules for digital assets, and look forward to working with the new Congress to achieve this goal. Coinbase's policy chief Faryar Shirzad emphasized the influence of crypto voters nationwide, pointing out that crypto has won this election, whether in terms of votes or across party lines: As millions of crypto holders cast their ballots, and dozens of high-profile races converged around crypto and financial reform, this new Congress and the incoming Trump Administration understand that the crypto electorate is real, vibrant, and ready to demand change from the elected officials. The number of pro-crypto members of Congress has increased significantly. In Ohio, pro-crypto Republican candidate Bernie Moreno defeated Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown. In Pennsylvania, Republican Dave McCormick defeated Democratic Senator Bob Casey. The crypto industry has also played a role in key races in Indiana, West Virginia and Arizona, providing donations to pro-crypto Republicans through political action committees (PACs) like "Defend American Jobs". Despite these achievements, the crypto industry also faces some resistance in Congress. In Massachusetts, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who frequently criticizes cryptocurrencies, successfully defeated pro-crypto Republican John Deaton. Nevertheless, with the Republicans expected to have full control of the government, and Congress filled with pro-crypto Senators and Representatives, this will be beneficial for Trump to fulfill his campaign promises on cryptocurrencies, including incorporating Bitcoin into the national strategic reserve, making the U.S. a Bitcoin superpower, and relaxing financial regulations.
