Some executives at crypto and blockchain firms have suggested prioritizing US congressional races over the presidential election.
With less than a month until the people of the United States decide who will represent them in the House of Representatives, Senate, and the Presidency, some crypto events seem to be focused on regulation and politics.
Attending the Permissionless III conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Ripple Swell in Miami, Florida, in October, Cointelegraph noted that many panels included takes from high-level executives on their predictions for what would happen in the November race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump for the US presidency, and what the outcome could mean for the industry in 2025.
Whether the topics of discussion initially focused on regulation or included stablecoins or Bitcoin (BTC) mining, many participants suggested that digital assets had become more of a mainstream issue in US politics in 2024 in a way never before seen.
