This is good - crypto should not be a partisan issue. Bitcoin Magazine @BitcoinMagazine Nov 6 JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Coinbase VP of U.S. Policy says "there are more Democrats coming into Congress that are pro-crypto than we have ever seen before" 👀 "We have a very strong track record with Democrats and with Republicans, and we'll continue that in the new Congress."

The biggest winner of the night may have been the prediction markets. After years of watching cable news on election night, last night I was glued to @Kalshi instead. Live probabilities beat pundits waiting to make a call. @KalshiPolitics @Polymarket Justin Slaughter @JBSDC Nov 4 There was also no mass prediction markets miss. In being told that, of 487 prediction markets on individual elections, 479 of the candidates that were leading at 5 PM last night won. 479/489. That’s a 98% accuracy rate before ANY votes are counted.

I really hope that one of the quiet undertones of this election is that crypto is no longer a partisan issue. Michael Saylor @saylor Nov 4 Florida elected a Republican governor who backed a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Texas elected a Democratic senator who voted to create one for his state. The case for holding Bitcoin crosses party lines.

This has come up in a lot of my conversations over the past year. I’m not an expert on what’s a future vs. a swap, but the people whose call it is have now made it, at least for single-stock perps on dual-registered exchanges. A real step toward bringing Hyperliquid onshore. GLC @GLC_Research Nov 3 Futures, not swaps. That was the question hanging over US perpetual derivatives all year. CME sued the CFTC arguing they are swaps. The SEC and CFTC asked whether equity perpetual derivatives are security futures or security-based swaps. Today the CFTC answered: single-stock Quote Hyperliquid Research Collective (HRC) @HyperliquidR Nov 3 "but single-stock perpetuals aren't live yet" *CFTC APPROVES FIRST EQUITY PERPETUAL FUTURES CONTRACTS FOR TRADING ON U.S. EXCHANGES: CFTC ( @mlmabc )

I can't believe that I do this to myself every Sunday in the fall! @nyjets
