Trump's Crypto Connection Hobbles Industry Regulation Push

The crypto industry has suffered an unexpected setback due to President Donald Trump's connection to cryptocurrency ventures. Revelations about the president and his family's earnings from these investments have hindered efforts for looser regulation in the sector.

As a result, the industry is shifting its focus towards advancing its agenda through regulatory means rather than legislation. However, this new approach faces uncertainty with the prospect of Democratic control in Congress after the November 2026 midterm elections and potentially winning the White House in 2028.
