Americans went to the polls for the 2026 midterm elections, with all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats at stake. Results were not yet reported. Democrats needed a net gain of three House seats or four Senate seats to take control of the respective chambers.
Crypto industry groups spent about $176 million across more than 100 races during the election cycle, according to Reuters. The results could affect stalled cryptocurrency legislation, including the CLARITY Act, and could bring greater scrutiny of President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures if Democrats win either chamber.
