After Thursday night’s presidential debate, the prospects of another Donald Trump administration seem, well…inevitable. (Don’t shoot the messenger!) For tech folks, that heralds a friendlier regulatory regime toward crypto for sure and probably also toward tech M&A, given the freeze imposed on even the tiniest of deals by President Joe Biden’s antitrust crew.
