The article discusses the impact of the divided Congress on the future of crypto legislation in the United States. Financial policy analyst Jaret Seiberg argues that a divided government is beneficial for the crypto sector as it creates a bipartisan regulatory structure that is likely to remain intact regardless of future elections. The article also highlights the uncertainty surrounding the 2024 presidential election, with polling-analysis operations unable to determine a clear outcome.
