The battle over cryptocurrency regulation in Washington could lead to a clash between pro-crypto Democratic lawmakers and Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has been critical of the digital assets industry. Republican lawmakers, who currently have control of Congress, are aiming to make the United States the "crypto capital of the planet" in line with President Trump's pro-crypto policies. However, they need around 7 votes from Democrats to pass the necessary laws. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is actively working to bring more left-wing policymakers on board, as Democrats see an opportunity to engage with the popular and growing crypto industry. Senator Warren has been a watchdog against the risks posed by crypto and advocates for stricter regulations. This could put her at odds with some Democratic party members who support the industry. Senior Democrats, including Mark Warner, have expressed a willingness to engage in discussions on crypto regulation. The aim is to secure enough support to bypass Warren's reservations and pass the proposed legislation.
