Crypto’s Big Week: Warren, the Midterms and a $15 Hack
 |
| By Dawn Pennington Reviewed by: Victoria Goldstein |
Crypto wasn’t on the ballot Tuesday. But it’s on the menu in January.
I'm in Washington this week, where the political conversation is already turning to what the new Congress could mean for crypto.
After the 120th Congress convenes, Elizabeth Warren is expected to take the gavel at the Senate Banking Committee.
Will she and the new class be more open to crypto “Clarity” than the industry fears?
I’m hopeful. And I’ll be watching.
Bitcoin may not wait for Washington, though. Juan Villaverde’s cycles point to its next big buying window right around the same time.
Add the midterms and a $15 fee that led to the largest single heist in history, and it was a big week for crypto news.
