Warren May Lead US Senate Banking Committee
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her criticism of the crypto industry, is seen as the main contender for the chair of the US Senate Banking Committee. This follows the Democratic Party's victory in the midterm elections, Reuters reports.
If Warren gets the position, she will have more opportunities to conduct investigations and call business representatives to hearings. According to WSJ, increased oversight of large banks, crypto companies and prediction markets is expected.
For someone who holds or exchanges cryptocurrency, this means that regulatory attention to crypto companies may increase if Warren leads the committee.
