In a significant electoral shift, the recent U.S. elections resulted in a historic number of pro-crypto candidates being elected to Congress. A total of over 270 pro-crypto candidates, including 247 in the House of Representatives and 15 in the Senate, have secured their seats. This marks a decisive victory for the cryptocurrency industry, with pro-crypto candidates outnumbering their anti-crypto counterparts significantly; 253 pro-crypto candidates were elected to the House compared to 115 anti-crypto candidates. The elections also saw the re-election of a pro-crypto president, further solidifying the industry's influence in U.S. politics. This outcome is viewed as a major structural shift toward crypto-friendly policies in the country, reflecting a growing acceptance and support for digital assets among American voters.
