According to Cointelegraph, the upcoming 2026 midterm elections in the United States could see a shift in congressional power towards the Democrats, potentially altering the regulatory landscape established under the Republican Party and U.S. President Donald Trump. Billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio has highlighted inflation concerns as a significant factor that might influence the elections, suggesting that affordability issues could become a primary political concern. Dalio predicts that these issues could lead to the Republicans losing control of the House, resulting in a tumultuous 2027 and setting the stage for a pivotal 2028 election. He noted that the current political dynamics allow President Trump a two-year mandate, which could be significantly weakened in the midterms and possibly reversed in the subsequent presidential election. The Trump administration's focus on technology, particularly digital technology and artificial intelligence, has benefited the crypto industry. However, a shift in congressional power could jeopardize the pro-crypto regulatory environment fostered under Trump's leadership. Key legislative initiatives, such as the CLARITY market structure bill, face potential delays. Investment bank TD Cowen suggests that Democratic lawmakers, anticipating a power shift, may postpone voting on the bill until after the 2026 elections. Currently, Republicans hold a narrow five-seat majority in the House of Representatives, but prediction markets like Polymarket estimate a 78% chance of Democrats gaining control in November. Joe Doll, general counsel at NFT marketplace Magic Eden, expressed concerns about the limited timeframe available for passing crypto regulations, noting that the slim Republican majority in the House could easily flip. He warned that a divided government might lead to legislative gridlock, stalling progress on crypto-related policies. As the political landscape evolves, the crypto industry remains attentive to the potential implications of the 2026 midterm elections on regulatory developments.
