Introducing The State of Crypto: Election 2020

This race matters. Here’s why

Hey CoinDesk pop-up newsletter readers,

Crypto never sleeps, and neither do we. If you joined us in Davos last winter or tuned into our Ethereum at Five event, we’d like to welcome you back to our newest limited-run newsletter: The State of Crypto, Election 2020 edition.

With the U.S. Election Day two weeks away and mail-in ballots already coming in, much is at stake - including crypto policy over the next four years. The way financial regulators, the central bank and lawmakers approach crypto will be shaped by who wins the Presidency and Senate next month. 

Like it or not, this election will matter for the crypto industry. We’re here to walk you through why.

At stake: Will new crypto products be approved or allowed to operate in the U.S? Will regulators target more overseas exchanges and platforms like BitMEX? Will the U.S. launch a “digital dollar” or some other form of central bank digital currency?

These questions will come down to who takes the reins at the various financial regulators and government departments. Over the next several days, we’ll map out the possible outcomes and introduce analysis of the candidates. 

Our limited-run newsletter will run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays starting Oct. 23 at least until Election Day.

Now what?
