Whole whole host of issues that are Relevant to the crypto sector take for Instance mic the EU legislation the Essentially establishes uniform rules For crypto assets across the union mic Was approved and ratified by the European Parliament last year it will Come into force in late December with Stable coin Provisions taking effect 6 Months earlier in June Micah is Far-reaching but it doesn't cover all Things for all people The European Parliament will continue to Have to discuss its issues around money Laundering tax avoidance distributed Ledger technology and many more topics That could have implications for crypto And it's for these reasons and more that The Parliamentary elections are so Important as for the outcome it's too Early to tell some commentators however Are wondering if the growth of the white Ring politics across Europe will be Reflected in Brussels as well on that Point right now Brussels is experiencing A particularly uncertain time that's Because earlier this month the head of The European Council the body that Brings together the leaders of the EU Member countries took the unprecedented Decision to resign Charles Michelle is Cutting his term early in mid July so he Can stand in the EU parliamentary Elections this move could mean the

In fact when it comes to crypto Starmer's position is extremely opaque If you Google his name and crypto you'll Get a bunch of links but no insight into His thoughts on the subject unless we've Missed something starma has said Precisely nothing about crypto in public Based on this it maybe fair to assume That the better outcome from a purely Crypto standpoint would be a Conservative win sunak unlike his Opponent is vocally Pro crypto and Blockchain sunak has said very clearly That he wants the UK to become a hub for Global crypto and digital assets I Should also note that under him the UK Passed the financial service and Market Act 2023 which creates regulatory Structures for crypto in the UK it's Fair to say that under sunak the UK has Demonstrated a clear intention to become A global hub for crypto but that the Full impact of these measures on the Industry is yet to be seen I should add Though that guy was back in the UK over Summer and spoke with some very Well-placed people there who suggested That the labor party more broadly May in Fact be receptive to the crypto industry If that is indeed true then that could Bu well for crypto in the UK but we'll Just have to wait and see Right now to the big one no election in 2024 will be more consequential than the

US general election up for grabs are the Presidency onethird of the seats in the Senate and all of the seats in the House Of Representatives while the Presidential race dominates the Headlines who controls the house and the Senate will determine whether Congress Passes laws easily over the following 4 Years or is instead mired in a deadlock As it stands 34 of the 100 Senate seats Are up for grabs as for the house all 435 seats are on the line according to The council for foreign relations a Think tank the Republicans look set to Retake the Senate but the fate of the House is less clear but so-call experts Have been spectacularly wrong in Predicting past us elections some of you Will remember the the New York Times Predicting with 91% certainty that Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump In 2016 so take that with a pinch of Salt right on to the voters what do they Care about well according to a survey Carried out on behalf of grayscale a Digital currency asset manager inflation Is the single most pressing problem in America today by a wide margin as you Can see from the chart grayscale argues That Bitcoin and The Wider crypto asset Class are more politically relevant than Ever and it's really easy to see why for The first time ever Bitcoin ethereum and Crypto more generally were all mentioned

In American presidential primary debate In fact the Republican presidential Candidate for V ramaswami was Specifically asked about crypto he is One of the few candidates to Specifically make crypto part of of his Campaign even accepting donations in BTC The fact that VC pulled out of the Contest in mid January doesn't take away From the fact that crypto being Mentioned in the presidential debate is Further evidence that it is coming into The Mainstream that said it's unlikely that Crypto will feature prominently as the Presidential election race titens Pundits and polls suggest the election Will be a rerun of 2020 with Joe Biden Squaring off against Donald Trump Neither man is particularly vocal about Crypto for his part Biden's Administration had expressed concerns About the risks associated with Cryptocurrencies such as consumer and Investor protection Financial stability Elicit finance and the environment among Other things but his administration's Position is more cautious than hostile He has not been outwardly opposed to Crypto Trump's position on the other Hand appears to have evolved over the Years in 2019 he tweeted and I quote I Am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies which are not many and

Whose value is highly volatile and based On thin air but his position on crypto And related Technologies appears to have Softened since in December 2022 and April 2023 he released nft trading cards Of himself which raised millions of Dollars earlier this year Trump went as Far as to announce during a campaign Speech that if he became president again He will and I quote never allow the Creation of a central bank digital Currency by the FED it's Up For Debate If these moves were ideological u-turns Or more of a pragmatic shift but crypto Isn't top priority for either man and so The election of one over the the other Is unlikely to dramatically impact the Crypto Market in fact if we look at the 2020 election which was also between Biden and Trump as well as the 2016 Election this comes out clearly bgc's Price was not particularly volatile in Either case and what about the markets More broadly well one poll showed that Voters are worried about the impact of Elections on their portfolios and by Extension the economy more generally but Are these concerns Justified well if you Look at past presidential races it Appears that they're not in fact According to Investopedia and I quote Historical data shows markets have Tended to rise in presidential election Years in fact in over 80% of Elections

Since 1928 the S&P 500 recorded positive Returns before wrapping this up we want To focus on another another interesting Crypto aspect to this election and that Is campaign funding by the pro crypto Lobby this is nothing new disgrace Founder of FTX turned smoked macr Trader S bankman freed famously lined up Politicians pockets on both sides of the Aisle using customer funds shortly Before his downfall he stated that he Intended to donate more than $100 Million to the US elections in 2024 Possibly up to $1 billion if Trump ran Again now that could have moved the Needle while s spf's money is no more a Few Lobby groups have emerged and have Strong reputable backers Chief among These are three super packs Fair Shake Protect progress and defend American Jobs that at present have a combined Campaign War chest of $78 million and Will seek to influence Congressional Elections a quick aside in case you're Unfamiliar with the US campaign Fundraising super Pacs or political Action committees are bodies that can Raise and spend unlimited sums of money In favor of or against candidates these Super pac's are funded by the likes of Ripple the company behind xrp coinbase a Major US crypto exchange Andre sarovich Or a16z known for being supportive of

Crypto Ventures and the twins behind Gemini Cameron and Tyler winlos as CNBC Reported a16 Us's co-founder Ben Horovitz announced the company's Intention to and I quote support Like-minded candidates and oppose Candidates who will aim to kill America's Advanced technological Future this presumably represents the Thinking across the board CNBC has also Highlighted the emergence of a another Lobbying group called the cedar Innovation Foundation this the source Says is a so-called dark money group in Other words a group that spends money on Campaigns without disclosing who their Donors are according to one of the Sources quoted in the report we could See crypto lobbying groups and I quote Putting hundreds and hundreds of Millions of dollars into supporting Pro Crypto candidates or lobbying against Anti- crypto ones this year will we see Crypto influencing politics rather than Politics influencing crypto and what Will that mean for the industry these Are two questions we'll be keeping a Close eye on as the election season in The US heats Up right that's all for today there are A bunch more elections this year Including those in the likes of Russia And Iran but from our perspective these Are are the ones to watch now over to
