Despite the crypto industry investing over $170 million in this midterm election, the Democrats successfully retook control of both the House and Senate, with several key crypto industry allies losing their races, signaling a potential shift in Washington’s crypto policy landscape. In key contests, Ohio Democrat and crypto critic Sherrod Brown defeated Republican candidate Jon Husted to return to the Senate; Senator Elizabeth Warren is poised to take over as chair of the Senate Banking Committee. Pro-crypto Republican Representatives Bryan Steil, Zach Nunn, and Ann Wagner all failed to win re-election. While House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill is expected to keep his seat, with Democrats regaining control of the House, he is projected to lose his committee chairmanship, to be replaced by Democratic Representative Maxine Waters. Democrats’ full control of Congress will significantly increase regulatory and political scrutiny pressure on the crypto industry. The Trump administration’s relationship with crypto, the president’s family’s crypto business, and regulatory decisions by the SEC and CFTC are all likely to become key targets of congressional investigations. The chances of the crypto market structure bill passing under the current framework have dropped sharply, and future legislation is likely to incorporate more of the Democratic Party’s policy priorities.

Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice John Bodurtha ruled Tuesday that a laptop containing a bitcoin wallet will be returned to the family of convicted murderer William Sandeson, who is currently serving a prison sentence. The judge found prosecutors failed to link the wallet’s bitcoin to the 2015 murder case, nor could they prove the digital assets were proceeds from drug trafficking or other criminal activity, so the wallet should not be seized. Sandeson killed fellow student Taylor Samson in 2015; he was convicted of second-degree murder by a jury in 2023 and is now serving a life sentence, with parole eligibility as early as 2030. The bitcoin wallet in question was previously seized by police from Sandeson’s residence, though the exact amount of cryptocurrency held has not been disclosed. There is a significant dispute over the wallet’s value: Sandeson claims it is worth roughly C$8,000 to C$10,000, while the victim’s family, in a separate civil lawsuit over Samson’s wrongful death, alleges the wallet could now be worth more than C$200,000. The court also ruled that C$5,000 in cash seized from Sandeson’s home after the murder is criminal-related property and will not be returned.

Tron founder Justin Sun has filed a motion with a U.S. federal court seeking $263,821.20 in sanctions against Donald Trump family-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and its attorneys, alleging the parties submitted misleading disclosure documents in litigation over his $45 million WLFI investment, failing to disclose an Emirati-linked party in the project’s ownership chain. Sun and two co-plaintiffs noted WLFI initially listed only Florida as its jurisdiction in court filings, and only amended its disclosures nearly three months later to name 22 individuals and entities in its ownership chain, including the Emirati-linked party. WLFI subsequently argued the federal court lacked jurisdiction over the case, citing its Emirati ties. Sun said he plans to refile the lawsuit in a California state court once the sanctions application is resolved, with a related hearing scheduled for December 10. The two sides have already filed reciprocal lawsuits over the freezing of Sun’s tokens: Sun sued WLFI in April, while WLFI countersued for defamation in May.
