Crypto industry smashes all lobbying records in 2024, influencing US election

 The crypto lobby has made its mark on the US presidential elections.

The crypto industry smashed all lobbying records in 2024 as President-elect Donald Trump secured a second term to return to the White House.

All across America, in key battleground states, money from crypto lobbyists made its mark. One of the biggest wins came in Ohio, where Republican Bernie Moreno ousted Democrat Sherrod Brown at a cost to crypto lobbyists of $40 million.

Brown, a crypto skeptic, was also chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Moreno’s victory removes a major crypto roadblock in Washington.

Bitcoin price drops under $67K as investors chase profit in stocks 

Bitcoin pulled back from its range high as investors moved to greener pastures, but a possible misstep by the SEC could benefit BTC. 

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly ventured above $68,000 on Oct. 16, the highest level since August, but holding this level proved harder than anticipated. With Bitcoin price now trading below $67,500, the primary question at hand is whether BTC price can restore its bullish momentum. 

Stronger-than-expected economic data in the United States reduced investors’ appetite for alternative hedging instruments, while a strong earnings report by TSMC shifted traders’ attention to the stock market. 

The macroeconomic environment played an important role in Bitcoin’s rejection at $68,000, but one event in the cryptocurrency industry in particular has triggered expectations of a more benevolent attitude toward crypto from the current Biden-Harris administration.
