Senator Elizabeth Warren, known for her criticism of the crypto industry, has been appointed as the most senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, which will handle crypto legislation in the coming months. If the Democrats regain control of the Senate in two years, she could become the committee's chairwoman. Warren's appointment means she will have a significant say in the digital assets legislation that requires approval from the committee. The current chairman of the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, Sherrod Brown, did not allow significant legislative debate on digital assets legislation, but Warren often voiced her opposition to crypto matters during his tenure.
