Democrats win Congress, reshape CLARITY Act talks
Briefing by News4U · First published
Cointelegraph reports that Democrats won both chambers of Congress in the 2026 midterms and will take control in January, giving them the opportunity to reshape the stalled CLARITY Act with stronger consumer protections, ethics requirements and a greater role for the SEC. Crypto companies spent $233 million on the cycle, including $64 million against Democrat Sherrod Brown in Ohio; incoming Senate Banking Chair Elizabeth Warren and House Oversight Chair Robert Garcia are expected to pursue investigations into conflicts of interest and the Trump family’s crypto ventures. Industry figures say any revived bill must also address security standards after the $6.3 billion Binance hack on Oct. 29. [1]
