Democrats likely to control House and Senate, impacting crypto firms like Circle and Robinhood amid regulatory shifts.

Prediction markets show Democrats have about 93% chance to win the House and 70% for the Senate after the CLARITY Act failed in a Republican Senate. While a Democratic Congress cannot override a presidential veto, it will control committees, investigations, and confirmations of SEC and CFTC nominees, affecting crypto intermediaries like Circle and Robinhood. Since the CLARITY vote, stocks of Coinbase, Circle, Robinhood, and Bullish have dropped significantly, reflecting investor concerns. Bitcoin's classification as a commodity remains stable, making it a safer crypto asset through the midterms.

Robinhood Markets leads in market cap among the mentioned crypto intermediaries at $76.53 billion as of Nov 02, 2026 22:02 WIB, trading at USD 86.20 with a 1-day gain of 1.42%. Coinbase Global holds a market cap of $38.00 billion but is down 2.22% on the day, priced at USD 140.11. Circle Internet Group, with a market cap of $18.42 billion, shows a 1-day increase of 1.41% at USD 73.55. These figures highlight varied investor responses to regulatory developments affecting crypto intermediaries.
