Key Takeaways:
- The June 27 debate between Biden and Trump did not address cryptocurrency, despite significant lobbying efforts.
- Crypto lobbyists raised over $202 million and spent nearly $94 million to influence the election.
- Public interest in crypto remains low, with voters more concerned about the economy, inflation, and governance.

After watching that debate there's no way you can tell me Trump isn't going to win.
