According to analyst Ash Crypto, Democrats taking both chambers of Congress could delay the CLARITY Act by at least two years and complicate President Donald Trump's goal of making the US a global crypto hub. In a November 5 post on X, he noted Democrats unanimously opposed the bill in a September Senate vote, denying Republicans the 60 votes needed to advance it. With Democrats now holding 54 House seats, Republicans will need their backing for major pro-crypto bills, the analyst said. He also warned Democrats could push for tougher digital asset rules, with reported plans to expand SEC oversight while curbing CFTC authority. Such a shift could slow institutional adoption and push builders offshore.
Why it matters: The timing and direction of federal crypto legislation affects how banks, investors and builders plan their US activity, as the analyst's warning illustrates.
