## Summary

Elizabeth Warren is expected to take over the Senate Banking Committee in January after Democrats won control of the Senate. She plans to use the chair’s oversight powers to scrutinise Trump family crypto businesses, major technology companies and Wall Street, with investigations and hearings among the options.

Warren also wants closer oversight of prediction markets, warns of financial risks including a possible AI bubble, and is expected to focus on Nvidia and the conditional bank charter granted to Trump-backed World Liberty Financial. The committee oversees banking, housing, cryptocurrency and the Federal Reserve, but Warren’s ability to pass legislation may be limited by President Trump’s veto. Democrats plan to pursue a broader crypto market structure bill, while the White House has criticised the prospect of investigations.
