Democratic sweep of Congress forces crypto industry to rethink Washington strategy

The shift threatens the legislative momentum crypto has enjoyed, raising the risk of tougher oversight and stalled bills. Traders should watch for slower progress on market-structure and stablecoin legislation, which could weigh on sentiment across digital assets.
