A Democratic Senate victory in the US midterm elections could shift the crypto agenda toward oversight and make the CLARITY Act harder to advance, according to a report by The Block summarized by BlockBeats on October 28.
Post-election scenario remains conditional
Senator Angela Alsobrooks said a Democratic-controlled Congress would not prioritize the bill, according to the report.
The report outlined a scenario in which Elizabeth Warren chairs the Senate Banking Committee after a Democratic win. Wintermute policy head Ron Hammond forecast greater use of subpoenas and scrutiny of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s bank-charter decisions in that scenario.
