Just how bad are these midterm elections looking for the crypto industry? With increasing likelihood of a Democratic sweep across the House and Senate in the midterm elections, I wanted to take a closer look at what the existing polls are signaling for the crypto industry's future.

So, to find answers, I turned to both prediction markets and resources like Stand with Crypto (SWC) – a database for candidate positions on our industry. Putting these together paired well with building a dashboard, so once I had the data, I turned to Cursor to build out the frontend, Claude Code to stitch the logic, and Vercel for final deployment.

While I’m still filling in gaps in the data, I've now built out a database tracking most races where Democratic candidates are leading mapped to their crypto stance and committee implications. This has helped form an initial picture of what the policy landscape may look like in a few months – workable on the surface, but hosting some deep structural issues on closer examination.
