Sen. Elizabeth Warren, expected to chair the Senate Banking Committee in January 2027, questioned cryptocurrency’s value in a Nov. 10, 2026, interview and said Trump’s cryptocurrency dealings deserved examination. A committee aide said executives and Trump family crypto businesses should preserve documents and prepare for questions. Democrats are also preparing separate inquiries into alleged financial conflicts and prediction-market misconduct.
Potential scrutiny includes World Liberty Financial and its August 2026 conditional national trust bank charter approval. The source says Democratic committee leaders could seek documents and question executives, but investigations would not themselves change the law or automatically revoke existing charters. Major restrictions would face a likely 60-vote Senate hurdle and a possible presidential veto.
