## Key points

- Democrats may expand a crypto consumer rights proposal into broader market rules.
- The plan would give the SEC more oversight and reduce the CFTC’s role.
- Analysts say bipartisan support exists, but passing legislation may be tougher.

## Summary

House Democrats are reportedly planning to broaden a crypto consumer rights amendment into a market structure bill, giving the Securities and Exchange Commission a larger supervisory role and limiting the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s remit. The move suggests crypto policy may be becoming more bipartisan after the midterm elections, although it could make agreement on the stalled Clarity Act harder.

Crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto endorsed 45 candidates: 27 won, 12 lost and six races were still undecided when reported; nearly half were Democrats. Analysts said support for crypto rules among some Democrats may depend on stronger consumer protections and conflict-of-interest provisions, while the election also changes congressional oversight of regulators. Bitcoin was trading at about $76,820, down 4.1% on the day.
