Democrats Sweep US Midterms as Bitcoin Falls Below $77k

The Democratic Party has reclaimed both chambers of Congress following U.S. midterm elections, undoing the red wave that crypto leaders battled for during the 2024 presidential election. Bitcoin’s price fell to $76,700 in the aftermath, reflecting poor sentiment over a historically hostile party to the industry’s interests. Democrats Back in Control Projected results cited by NBC News late Tuesday showed Democrats winning 51 Senate seats, securing a majority, up from 45 (plus 2 independents caucused with Democrats) in the prior term. That includes a seat once belonging to Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) – one of the few Republicans who voted ‘no’ during the pivotal Clarity Act vote in September – now won by Democrat Roy Cooper, who has previously supported the presence of “clear, stable regulations” in the space.
