 A few thousand votes in a handful of states decided the last Presidential election. Do you really want your preferred candidate to stand against 52M Americans who have owned a digital asset and &gt;1M Americans who have declared this intent around digital assets this time around? <a href="https://t.co/f1qlfOJ6da" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/f1qlfOJ6da</a>

In a recent tweet, Paul Grewal, the Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, highlighted the significance of the crypto vote, stating that the election could be influenced by a few votes in key states. He noted that a large population of Americans is engaged in digital assets and mentioned that political positions on crypto may factor into voters’ choices.

Stand With Crypto PAC revealed that more than 52 million people in the United States own some form of digital currency and 87% of them want to replace the current financial system ‘as it is.’ The PAC has also pointed out that 45% of the surveyed would not vote for the <a href="https://coingape.com/coinbase-ceo-interest-deaton-senate-run-sparks-crypto-pac-donation-talks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">anti-crypto candidate</a>.
The recent approval of “Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act” also known as the <a href="https://coingape.com/fit21-unlikely-to-pass-senate-before-november-election-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FIT21</a> by the House of representatives is evidence of increasing bipartisan on issues to do with cryptocurrency.&nbsp;
The bill, which seeks to provide a legal framework for cryptocurrencies and digital assets in the U.S., was approved with a comfortable margin of 278-136 votes. Although it was sponsored by Republican lawmakers, it was also supported by a large number of Democrats.
<h2 id="strong-challenges-and-strategic-shifts-in-the-senate-strong">Challenges and Strategic Shifts in the Senate</h2>
Despite the success in the House, the FIT21 bill faces challenges in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where some critics of cryptocurrency, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, are influential. The crypto community has not relented and is pushing to ensure that the bill is passed to maintain the momentum.
To this end, Congressman Ro Khanna is scheduled to hold a roundtable conference in Washington, D. C. next month. This event will involve the <a href="https://coingape.com/biden-admin-to-join-bitcoin-strategy-talk-next-month-report/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Biden Administration</a>, Congress, and the crypto industry to map out strategies on how the U. S. can continue to foster innovation in blockchain technology.
In addition, the recent involvement of the former President of the United States, <a href="https://coingape.com/us-presidential-candidate-donald-trump-meets-bitcoin-miners-in-the-us-whats-cooking/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump</a>, in the crypto space has also helped to bring this issue to light. Trump has accepted Bitcoin Lightning payments for campaign contributions and has vowed to undo what he has called “Joe Biden’s war on crypto. ” His backing of the Bitcoin market also includes inviting key U. S. Bitcoin miners to a roundtable meeting at Mar-a-Lago.
