Cryptocurrency gains political attention ahead of 2024 US elections, with both Republican and Democrat policymakers increasingly vocal about its potential benefits. Key swing states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have seen notable increases in crypto-related searches, according to a16z crypto's report. The introduction of Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded products (ETPs) has expanded access to crypto investments, with $65 billion currently held in on-chain assets. Regulatory clarity is being sought through the FIT21 Act and Wyoming's DUNA Act, while international efforts, such as the EU's Markets in Crypto Act (MiCA), are also making progress.
