From Pariah to Power Player: Crypto’s Political Triumph - UnChained
"In many ways, crypto has already won, and the signs are clear. This year saw the emergence of the first pro-crypto, bipartisan bloc in Congress. The Financial Innovation in Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), passed with support from both parties, is a step in the right direction for much-needed regulatory clarity, long sought by the industry."

Bitcoiners who value sovereignty should also defend reproductive rights - Blockworks
"Financial freedom and reproductive rights are just two points on a broader spectrum of individual sovereignty. While we may never be completely sovereign individuals, we can acknowledge how deeply interconnected these freedoms are. For me, Bitcoin has always represented freedom in all its forms — financial and personal. True sovereignty means having control over our futures, our finances and our bodies."

The Semiconductor Lesson: Onshoring to Win Innovation - Open Banker
"The global semiconductor market is a stark reminder of how quickly industries can shift and how costly it can be to fall behind. The U.S. is now making significant efforts to restore its semiconductor leadership, but we cannot afford to make the same mistake with crypto."

Core to elections is hope for the future, and America's future is pregnant with possibilities. Yesterday, Americans voted for their vision for tomorrow. Regardless of your sentiments regarding the results, the sun came out today and it continues to shine. So, in the aftermath of a polarizing election season, let’s also count it all joy. The American electorate is evolving in ways polling can no longer capture. But policymaking and rulemaking is a staple mandate.
When it comes to advancing a comprehensive policy and regulatory framework for crypto, down-ballot races matter just as much as who wins the Presidency or which political party controls which chamber of Congress. Good candidates at the local, state, federal level can become substantive officials who can champion smart Web3 and DeFi policies.
Perhaps the most compelling election night result is that crypto was a big winner, which is yet another example of the evolving electorate.
