Politicians are now chasing after the crypto industry's money. The 2024 presidential race has seen a surprising twist: the cryptocurrency world is backing Donald Trump with significant Bitcoin donations. Venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have also jumped on the Trump train.

Vice President Kamala Harris is also trying to woo the crypto industry. She’s hinting at more supportive policies if she wins the Democratic nomination.

Some lawmakers and experts think meaningful legislation might pass during the lame-duck period, but others believe it'll be pushed to the next Congress.
