This podcast explores how the recent Republican sweep in the US elections could shape the crypto industry. The surprising victory of the Republican candidate is viewed as a major boost for crypto, thanks to the new administration's supportive stance and the removal of key anti-crypto figures like Sherrod Brown from the Senate Banking Committee. The conversation highlights how prediction markets, such as Polymarket, accurately forecasted the election results, in contrast to the more cautious approach of mainstream media. The panelists expect a shift away from negative regulatory challenges, including the possible dismissal of Gary Gensler and the dismantling of Operation Chokepoint, which could create a more favorable regulatory landscape for crypto in the US. They also discuss the potential effects on the tech sector, anticipating clearer regulations and the approval of more crypto ETFs.
