According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Reuters, if the Democratic Party wins control of either the House of Representatives or the Senate in the U.S. midterms in November, they may intensify investigations into crypto companies, predictive markets, and Wall Street banks. They would also gain the authority to summon heads of regulatory agencies and compel companies CEO to appear before hearings. Democratic lawmakers are preparing to investigate Trump and his family's business ties with the cryptocurrency and predictive market industries, focusing on potential conflicts of interest and national security risks. The report notes that such investigations may not necessarily prevent the Trump administration from relaxing financial regulations, but they could slow down the advancement of related policies and increase legal and reputational risks for companies.
