Congress Returns From Break: Crypto’s Regulatory Fate Hangs in the Balance

Lawmakers are back—and digital assets are back on the menu.

The Regulatory Storm Ahead

Committees are dusting off crypto bills that stalled before recess. Expect heated debates on stablecoin frameworks, exchange oversight, and—of course—how to classify everything from Bitcoin to shitcoins. The SEC and CFTC are leaning forward, ready to pounce on any legislative momentum.

Market Impact

Traders are watching D.C. like hawks. Any hint of friendly regulation could send prices soaring; heavy-handed proposals might trigger a sell-off. Crypto’s never been just about code—it’s about Congress, too. And if history’s any guide, they’ll probably overcomplicate things just enough to keep lawyers employed and innovators annoyed.

Bottom line: Policy moves markets. Always has, always will—even in a space that supposedly ‘disrupts’ traditional finance. Funny how that works.
