ME News reports that, as of July 27 (UTC+8), with 100 days remaining until the 2026 midterm elections, crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto posted on X on July 26 that nearly 70% of surveyed crypto holders believe candidates’ positions on crypto will influence their voting, and nearly 80% said they are almost certain to vote. Stand With Crypto noted that 73% of surveyed crypto holders are closely monitoring which congressional members support which crypto policies, and 59% do not consistently align with a single political party. The organization stated that crypto supporters have contacted Congress over one million times regarding relevant legislation. Market attention is focused on the CLARITY Act—the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025—which aims to clarify the regulatory responsibilities of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over digital assets, and could determine whether certain digital assets are classified as securities or commodities under federal regulation. Supporters argue that there is a limited window to advance legislation before the election-year agenda tightens; opponents contend that any new framework must preserve protections against fraud, market manipulation, and investor losses. The debate encompasses exchange access, investment products, taxation, and the role of federal regulators in digital finance. (Source: ODAILY)
