Crypto commentator Tyler D said in a video before the Nov. 3 U.S. midterm elections that a Democratic takeover of Congress could slow crypto legislation and bring tougher regulation, while potentially benefiting privacy cryptocurrencies. He explained that the SEC and CFTC, described as watchdog agencies, can issue and change rules but cannot pass laws, and that leadership changes could reverse some decisions. Tyler D also said the industry has grown too large to be stopped by a political shift and expected the next two years to be fine regardless. Bitcoin was near $76,000 at the time, down more than 2% in 24 hours and nearly 4% over seven days.
