As the American mid-term elections finally come to an end,
Colorado’s new blockchain-friendly governor Jared Polis wants the
state to embrace crypto and its technological innovations.
Not only is Polis the first ever openly gay person to be elected
governor, but is also a massive crypto advocate. So whether you are
politically red or blue, if you are a crypto enthusiast from Colorado ,
it’s been a great day and you have won regardless.
Great News for American Crypto Fans
The crypto industry has been a major winner this week with not just
the appointment of Polis but also Arizona’s David Schweikert who
is also a blockchain supporter. The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott,
who had been accepting bitcoin donations to fund his campaign was
also reelected to office.
The biggest news, however, is that Democrat Jared Polis is now the
Governor of Colorado and has pledged to bring the state back to its
roots as a major center for crypto and blockchain innovations and
technology.
What makes Polis so popular with Coloradan natives is that he is
different from your standard politician. While many elected members
are career politicians and sometimes do not understand certain
issues and especially blockchain technology, Polis has previously
founded three tech startups, so he understands the industry. Two of
those companies went on to make hundreds of millions of dollars.
Polis Stands in Crypto’s Corner
You may remember when Polis co-chaired the Congressional Blockchain
Caucus and took a swipe at the anti-bitcoin naysayers by jokingly
creating a proposal that aimed to eradicate the US dollar.
Since running as a candidate for the governor job, Polis had stated
that he intends to make Colorado a blockchain epicenter once more
and help to develop a framework to regulate and foster blockchain
technologies and innovations. When talking about his plans during his
campaign, Polis said he wants to: “Establish Colorado as a national hub for
blockchain innovation in business and
government.”

As the mid-term elections have proven to be a massive success for
crypto-advocating politicians, the crypto space will pay close
attention to how this evolves during the next round of elections.
