Why Congressman Ro Khanna Is Hopeful the Democratic Party Will Embrace Crypto - Ep. 679

The Democratic Party has faced criticism from the crypto industry for its stance on the sector, but House Representative Ro Khanna is determined to change that narrative. 

In this episode, he talks about his efforts to shift the party’s approach, his thoughts on the current regulatory environment, and his vision for a crypto-friendly future. He gives his insights on the implications of the Supreme Court’s overturning of the Chevron doctrine, the potential for a crypto bill this year, and his upcoming remarks at the Nashville Bitcoin conference.

Plus, if you are a single-issue voter, he’s got something to say to you.
