The statement is strongly supported by the evidence. Source 9 (TIME) explicitly states, 'In October, a researcher for the investment bank TD Cowen wrote that they were “pessimistic” of any crypto legislation getting passed before the 2024 Elections.' This directly corroborates the claim that TD Cowen suggested a delay until after the election. While many other sources are dated in the future (2025), making them unreliable, the credible source from TIME provides direct confirmation.
