Neutral
Di PAC wey support crypto spend help elect candidate wey dem rate as pro-crypto, and dat fit boost short-term sentiment about chances for regulation. But dis na mostly indirect political signal: markets usually need proper legislative moves (committee scheduling, stablecoin/asset-market bills, Senate procedural progress) before dem go do sustained repricing. Wit no immediate policy text or vote outcome beyond di election, di net effect on crypto price likely small, so overall impact stay neutral.
