What happened: Prediction markets give Democrats about 93% odds in the House and about 70% in the Senate after the CLARITY Act failed even in a Republican Senate. Why it matters: Those tools reach listed intermediaries first, with Circle's stablecoin model and Robinhood's election contracts described as the most exposed. Bitcoin's commodity status is the least contested part of every bill, which the article calls the cleaner way to hold crypto through the midterms.
