Implications for Regulation and Policy

Bipartisan crypto support within the US government is increasing, with significant implications for the future of crypto regulation and policy. While Republicans still dominate the pro-crypto side of the aisle, the negative sentiment toward the industry appears to be deflating.

In total, 310 US politicians strongly support the crypto industry, while only 41 are firmly against it. Theoretically, a 2/3rds majority for the Republicans in both houses would be enough to pass any pro-crypto legislation as it stands.

Based on provided data from Stand With Crypto (SWC), here’s a comprehensive overview of the current congressional landscape regarding crypto legislation:
