With 274 pro-cryptocurrency candidates elected to the House of Representatives and 20 to the Senate, crypto super PACs have effectively strengthened bipartisan influence in Congress.
Industry representatives and groups are actively collaborating with Trump’s transition team to shape regulatory policy and personnel selection, advocating for potential candidates for SEC chair, such as former commissioners Dan Gallagher and Paul Atkins. Key proposals include:
- Appointing a cryptocurrency-friendly SEC chair to replace Gary Gensler.
- Proposing the transfer of federal oversight on digital asset regulations from the SEC to the CFTC.
- Supporting the establishment of a national cryptocurrency reserve.
- Backing clearer and more favorable regulatory frameworks for the cryptocurrency industry.
- Potential appointment of a cryptocurrency policy official in the White House.
- Increased political and financial engagement by pro-cryptocurrency PACs and figures to influence legislation and regulations.
