The Speaker of the House is not a dictator. Policies must pass through the legislative process and in most cases go through a vote. So a crypto-friendly interim speaker will make little or no impact in his quest to push favourable polices.  If he tries to be too powerful he would face the same thing that Kevin McCarthy faced. This interim position will not last long so I am expecting nothing from this post occupied by Patrick McHenry. There are also indications that the interim speaker might be removed from the House Financial Services Committee which might not be good to the crypto sector. Being the chairman of this powerful committee gave McHenry the best platform to introduce and pursue pro-crypto bills.
