Meanwhile, the US mid-elections might prove successful not only for Democrats but also for Bitcoin enthusiasts. Jared Polis, a Democratic candidate in Colorado won the governor race and defeated his Republican rival Walker Stapleton.
Polis is known as an active supporter of blockchain technologies, moreover, his voting campaign includes a promise to turn Colorado into a cryptocurrency hub.
“My goal is to establish Colorado as a national hub for blockchain innovation in business and government. I believe strong leadership will put Colorado at the forefront of innovation in this sector—encouraging companies to flock to the state and establishing government applications that save taxpayers money and create value for Colorado residents,” he said.
And this is not the only victory that may change the tide for the crypto community in the USA. In California, Gavin Newsom won the race over Republican John Cox. Newsom has been engaged in the crypto industry since 2014 when he started accepting donations in Bitcoins.
