Democrats' decisive midterm victories in the House and Senate have triggered market concerns that tighter AI and data-centre regulations could pressure major technology, crypto, healthcare and financial stocks. Wall Street futures led declines across Asian markets, while the US dollar weakened, Treasuries rallied and oil prices fell; two-year Treasury yields dropped nearly 8 basis points to 5.5458%. Potential restrictions on data-centre expansion could slow a major US growth engine, ease inflationary pressure and reduce expectations for future Fed rate hikes.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao reported $2.8 billion in net inflows to Binance over the past 24 hours, citing public data.
The reported figure represents substantial net capital movement into the exchange, although no breakdown of individual assets or investor categories was provided.
Sustained inflows could signal improving investor confidence and provide a positive sentiment catalyst for the broader cryptocurrency market.
Coinbase has resumed cryptocurrency staking services in New Jersey after regulators reversed a cease-and-desist order that had restricted the activity since June 2023.
New Jersey's Bureau of Securities rescinded both the order and a $5 million penalty without prejudice, allowing Coinbase to accept new staking funds from state residents again.
The regulatory reversal could support Ethereum adoption and improve market sentiment, although the absence of a ruling on the merits leaves the possibility of future regulatory action open.
Bitcoin plunged below $76,000 for the first time since mid-September as leveraged liquidations accelerated the selloff, wiping out hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto positions.
Approximately $366 million in crypto positions were liquidated, with 70% being longs, while US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $398.6 million in net outflows and Nasdaq fell 1.1%.
Continued institutional ETF outflows and Bitcoin's loss of the $77,000-$77,500 support zone could intensify bearish pressure and leave the cryptocurrency vulnerable to further downside.
Oil prices climbed on Wednesday as uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran war and Washington's next moves outweighed shifting political dynamics following Democratic gains in the US midterm elections.
Brent crude rose 0.8% to $104.42 per barrel, while WTI gained 0.5% to $96.59, supported by a 5.27-million-barrel drawdown in US crude inventories.
Persistent supply disruption risks around the Strait of Hormuz and stalled US-Iran negotiations could keep oil prices volatile and reinforce upward pressure on crude.
Polymarket is pricing a Democratic sweep of both chambers of the U.S. Congress at 100% in its 2026 midterm election market, signaling extreme confidence among prediction-market participants in a Republican congressional defeat.
The potential shift in congressional control could create uncertainty around U.S. cryptocurrency legislation and intensify scrutiny of the Trump family's crypto business interests.
A Democratic takeover could increase regulatory uncertainty for the U.S. crypto industry and potentially pressure sentiment toward politically exposed crypto projects.
AMD warned that the PC market could decline by a double-digit percentage in 2027 as higher memory costs reduce demand, echoing a concern Intel raised days earlier. AMD shares rose about 5% after hours. The warning places memory-cost pressure at the center of the outlook for PC demand and directly affects the semiconductor sector's exposure to consumer and commercial computer sales.
Moscow Exchange will begin listing Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether's USDT for Russian investors on December 1, bringing crypto trading onto the country's largest stock exchange despite U.S. sanctions against the exchange and its clearing house.
Retail investors will face a 300,000-ruble annual purchase limit and mandatory testing, while qualified investors will have no cap; trades will be cleared through the National Clearing Centre.
The launch could expand regulated domestic crypto access in Russia, but U.S. sanctions and uncertainty surrounding Tether's wallet-freezing policies could create significant operational risks.
India's ethanol blending rate in petrol could fall to around 15% from 20% as severe El Niño-driven drought conditions force the government to prioritise food security over biofuel production.
Corn and sugar prices have surged roughly 40% to record highs, while New Delhi has restricted sugar-based ethanol procurement and reduced the purchase price of corn-based ethanol.
A sustained decline in blending could increase India's reliance on imported crude oil, squeeze ethanol producers, and weaken the country's energy-security ambitions.
South Korea’s ruling Democratic Party is pushing to delay its cryptocurrency gains tax by another two years, marking a potential fourth postponement ahead of its scheduled January 2027 implementation.
The proposal would defer the 20% tax on crypto profits exceeding 2.5 million won, plus a 2% local levy, while lawmakers prepare digital asset regulations and test tax-reporting systems.
Another delay could provide additional breathing room for South Korea’s crypto market and reduce near-term regulatory tax pressure on investors, although the postponement is not yet approved.
Bitcoin briefly plunged to approximately $75,700 as early U.S. midterm results raised the prospect of a Democratic sweep, before recovering to around $76,700 during Asian trading.
The selloff followed a drop of more than $2,000 from near $78,000, while S&P 500 futures fell 1.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures slid 2.3%; Bitcoin was little changed over 24 hours.
Uncertainty over potential regulatory scrutiny and the CLARITY Act could keep crypto markets volatile as election results are finalized.
Democrats have secured control of the U.S. Senate with 51 seats, reshaping the outlook for crypto legislation and regulatory oversight.
The result puts the stalled CLARITY Act under renewed uncertainty after its September procedural vote failed 49–50, while Democratic control could bring greater scrutiny of crypto businesses and regulators.
The shift could delay or reshape U.S. crypto regulation, although bipartisan support and stronger consumer-protection rules may still create a path toward a durable framework.
Binance disclosed a major security breach in which attackers compromised its internal wallet-signing infrastructure and impacted approximately $6.34 billion in digital assets.
The exchange said $2.85 billion had been frozen or intercepted, and that 98% of the affected funds had been replenished as of October 31, with Binance committing to absorb the financial impact.
The incident could intensify scrutiny of centralized-exchange security and weigh on crypto sentiment, although the recovery measures may help limit concerns about user losses.
Asian stocks extended their losses and the U.S. dollar fell to a more-than-one-month low as Democrats scored victories in the U.S. midterm elections, driving broader market uncertainty.
Japan’s Nikkei dropped 4.2% to a five-month low, while E-mini S&P 500 futures fell 1.1%, Nasdaq futures lost 2.0%, and Bitcoin declined 1.2% to $76,893.48.
Continued uncertainty over fiscal negotiations and the outlook for AI investment could pressure equities and crypto, although economic growth, earnings, inflation, and interest rates may remain more influential drivers.
Gold climbed 0.5% to $3,947.49 per ounce as a weaker US dollar and declining Treasury yields boosted demand for the precious metal following early Democratic victories in the US midterm elections.
US gold futures also gained 0.5% to $3,958, while investors weighed geopolitical uncertainty and a 78% market-implied probability of a December Federal Reserve rate hike.
Gold could challenge the $4,000 resistance level, although upcoming US non-farm payrolls data and expectations of higher interest rates could trigger volatility.
Sherrod Brown has defeated Republican incumbent Jon Husted in Ohio's Senate race, delivering a major setback to the crypto industry's political lobbying efforts.
Crypto PAC Fairshake spent $30 million opposing Brown, who previously advocated tougher cryptocurrency restrictions, while Husted supported several crypto bills, including the Clarity Act.
Brown's return to the Senate could complicate crypto-friendly legislation, particularly if Democrats regain Senate control and he assumes leadership of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Indian markets could open lower on November 4, snapping a four-session winning streak as GIFT Nifty signals a weak start amid mixed global market cues.
Sensex gained 1.62% to 76,917.85 and Nifty advanced 1.58% to 23,810.85 in the previous session, while softer crude prices and fresh foreign fund inflows supported the rally.
Profit-booking and uncertainty surrounding US midterm election results could pressure near-term sentiment, although supportive crude prices and foreign inflows may help limit downside.
Vietnam's official USD/VND midpoint stood at 25,627 on November 4, while the unofficial market quoted the dollar at 26,040/26,160 dong.
Interbank USD/VND quotes reached 25,734/25,739, while domestic SJC gold prices were quoted at 138.2/141.2 million dong per tael.
The gap between official and unofficial exchange rates could keep attention on pressure in Vietnam's currency market and domestic gold pricing.
Malaysian palm oil futures remain under pressure near MYR 4,500 per tonne, touching an over one-month low as rising supply expectations and intensifying export competition weigh on prices.
September stocks reached a record high and could exceed 3 million tonnes by year-end, while Indonesia cut its November CPO reference price by 6.07% and lowered its export levy.
However, a weaker ringgit and strong demand, including a 45.4%–73.5% jump in October shipments, could limit further downside if buying momentum persists.
Gold remains under pressure, briefly falling to $3,900 before recovering modestly as investors await greater clarity on U.S. midterm election results.
High Treasury yields, a firm U.S. dollar and expectations of further Fed tightening continue to weigh on gold, while easing oil prices provide limited inflation relief.
Clearer election outcomes could attract conviction-based buyers, but gold's recovery may remain constrained until investors gain greater certainty on yields, the dollar and risk sentiment.
Chainalysis says it helped trace and contain an approximately $49 million security incident involving Mercado Bitcoin, with nearly $10 million in suspected funds frozen alongside partners. The company emphasized tracing and freezing efforts, but the frozen funds have not been confirmed as returned to affected customers, and the incident's final loss figure remains unverified. The response could strengthen confidence in coordinated crypto-security investigations, although uncertainty over actual fund recovery may keep concerns elevated around exchange security and custody risks.
The hacker linked to the reported $6.3 billion Binance exploit is continuing to launder stolen SOL into BTC through THORChain, extending the movement of illicit funds across blockchain networks. The funds were dispersed across multiple wallets, converted from SOL into USDC, bridged to Ethereum to purchase ETH, and subsequently swapped into BTC via THORChain. Continued conversion of stolen funds into BTC could intensify selling pressure on SOL and raise concerns about cross-chain laundering risks and BTC exposure to illicit flows.
Copper prices slipped nearly 1% as risk-off sentiment tied to U.S. midterm election uncertainty continued, keeping the metal near an 11-week low.
LME copper fell 0.99% to $13,897 per ton after touching $13,883, its lowest level since August 19, while Shanghai copper dropped 0.81%.
Persistent political uncertainty and concerns about slower AI infrastructure spending could maintain pressure on copper, although tight supply and strong Chinese import demand may limit further losses.
US natural gas prices have fallen to $2.85/MMBtu, their lowest level in nearly two weeks, as warm weather forecasts and weaker LNG export activity pressure demand.
Above-average temperatures are expected across most of the US through November 18, while storage inventories are projected to reach 1.4% above normal and LNG export flows have declined to 17.7 bcfd.
Continued mild weather, elevated inventories and weaker export demand could maintain downward pressure on US natural gas prices.
Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, a French bank with $235B in assets, has been identified by ZachXBT as the suspected victim of a $133M hack. The identity of the previously unnamed “EU institution” was disclosed on 4 Nov.
According to ZachXBT, the reported loss involved withdrawals from centralized exchange accounts. About $63M was converted into ETH in just 4 hours, and more than $30M was reportedly laundered amid delayed disclosure.
The bank had not issued a public statement at the time of the report. The case places attention on related addresses, potential ETH-linked transfers, and disclosure practices around crypto operations and custody.
Binance co-CEO Richard Teng says the industry must learn from a $6.3 billion hack that exposed risks involving new Ethereum features, AI-assisted attacks and compromised wallet-signing systems. The October 29 attack involved approximately 167,464 ETH and $1.6 billion in USDT, while Binance says it has replenished 98% of affected assets and rebuilt its wallet infrastructure. The incident could intensify scrutiny of exchange custody, transaction-signing security and emerging Ethereum wallet features, even as researchers argue EIP-7702 itself is not broken.
US corn futures dropped to approximately $4.42 per bushel, hitting a three-month low as expectations for the country's second-largest corn crop on record and weakening export shipments pressured prices. US export shipments fell 48.3% year-on-year to 884,766 metric tons, despite fresh sales of 315,000 tons to Mexico and 136,000 tons to South Korea. Expectations of abundant supplies and stronger competition from rival exporters could keep corn futures under further downward pressure.
India's palm oil imports climbed to a 14-month high in October, while soyoil purchases reached a record as refiners increased buying ahead of the festive season. Palm oil imports rose 6% month-on-month to 866,000 metric tons, while soyoil imports increased 6% to a record 653,000 tons, pushing total edible oil imports up 13% to a more than two-year high. Strong Indian import demand could tighten export availability in Indonesia and Malaysia and provide further support for benchmark palm oil futures.
Gold edged higher as a weaker US dollar and falling Treasury yields supported bullion ahead of the US midterm election results, with spot gold rising 0.1% to $3,931.24 per ounce. Investors are also awaiting Friday's US non-farm payrolls report, while markets price a 78% probability of a December Federal Reserve rate hike and $4,000 remains a key resistance level. Gold could gain further support from political uncertainty and softer yields, although expectations of higher interest rates may limit its upside.
Super Micro rose 7.20% after hours after beating expectations and raising its outlook. CFO Mark Long said a single AI deployment can now exceed the scale of an entire quarter a year ago, underscoring the company’s exposure to AI infrastructure demand. The higher outlook and comparison with the year-ago quarter are the key new catalysts for Super Micro shares.
Milk prices have climbed to a 13-month high, reaching $17.82 per hundredweight, their highest level since September 2025.
Milk has gained 0.93% over the past four weeks, although prices remain down 10.22% over the last 12 months.
Continued upward momentum could signal a recovery in dairy markets, but the broader yearly decline suggests the rebound remains limited.
Spot gold maintains a neutral trading range between $3,913 and $3,967 per ounce, but technical signals increasingly favor further downside.
A bearish wave projection points toward $3,824-$3,858, while a break below $3,888 could extend the decline toward $3,839; resistance above $3,967 could open a recovery toward $4,001-$4,022.
Gold could face renewed selling pressure if support breaks, although a sustained move above $3,967 may invalidate the immediate bearish outlook.
India's ethanol-blending ambitions face a setback as drought-hit corn and sugarcane crops force the government to prioritize food security over biofuel production, potentially pushing blending below the 20% target.
Industry estimates suggest ethanol blending could fall to 15% from 20%, while corn production may decline by as much as 15% and corn and sugar prices have surged around 40% to record highs.
Reduced ethanol production could increase India's reliance on imported crude oil while supporting further strength in agricultural commodity prices.
Coinbase has detailed its move toward multi-user account infrastructure, allowing organisations to involve multiple users with different access privileges.
The architecture distinguishes between the individual performing an action and the organisation on whose behalf it is performed, supporting more controlled and auditable transaction workflows.
Improved identity management and permission controls could strengthen institutional crypto security and support broader enterprise adoption, although product-level rollout and security effectiveness remain unproven.
Marubeni CEO expects the copper market to remain firm over the medium to long term, supported by robust demand from data centres and AI sectors.
The company plans to continue investing in cost-competitive base metals assets in low-country-risk regions, while expecting LNG prices to remain high.
Sustained AI and data centre demand could support copper prices over the longer term, while elevated LNG prices may reinforce strength across energy markets.
South Korea's ruling Democratic Party has formally proposed another delay to the country's planned cryptocurrency income tax, which is currently scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.
The proposed 22% levy would apply to annual crypto gains exceeding 2.5 million won, while lawmakers want the Digital Asset Basic Act enacted before taxation begins.
A further postponement could reduce near-term tax pressure on South Korean crypto investors and improve sentiment toward the domestic digital asset market.
Soybean futures fell to around $11.90 per bushel, approaching a three-month low as expectations of abundant global supplies and concerns over Chinese demand weighed on prices.
The US harvest reached 88% completion by November 1, ahead of its five-year average, while Brazil's competitive exports added further supply pressure; Chinese soybean oil inventories climbed 4.3% year over year to nearly 1.5 million tons.
Despite fresh USDA-reported purchases from China totaling 136,000 MT, ample supply and sluggish consumption could continue pressuring soybean prices.
Silver slipped toward $49 an ounce, hovering near a one-year low as investors weighed US midterm results and developments in US-Iran negotiations.
Early election results showed Democrats gaining in key races, while softer oil prices offered some support by easing inflation concerns; markets still priced a 78% chance of a December Fed rate hike.
Silver could remain under pressure if expectations for prolonged monetary tightening persist, although lower energy prices may provide some support.
Gold held steady near $3,930 per ounce as investors weighed US midterm results and developments in US-Iran negotiations. Softer oil prices are supporting bullion by easing inflation concerns, but markets still price a 78% probability of a December Federal Reserve rate hike. Gold could gain support if lower energy prices reduce expectations for prolonged monetary tightening, although rate-hike expectations remain a headwind.
Brent crude oil fell to $102.91 per barrel, its lowest level since October 2026, marking a notable retreat in recent prices. Despite the decline, Brent remains up 2.7% over four weeks and 62.19% over the past 12 months. Further weakness could signal a deeper correction in crude oil after its substantial annual gains.

AmInvestment Bank warns stockpiles could remain elevated until at least Q1, while January CPO futures drop 84 ringgit to 4,467 ringgit per ton. Potential El Niño-related production disruptions could tighten supply later, but persistent inventory pressure may keep prices under pressure in the near term.

Bitcoin remained within a five-day trading range of $76,265 to $78,866 after falling 1% from 6 a.m. and holding near $77,100. The source identified $76,265-$76,550 as key lower-range support: BTC was supported there on October 31 and November 3, while the daily Bollinger lower band is about $76,265 and the daily 200 EMA is about $76,540.
On the upside, $77,950-$78,070 was cited as the immediate resistance area. The morning high reached $78,066, and a trader who had closed 147.6 BTC shorts for a $34,600 profit reportedly reopened a 165 BTC short at 09:41, with a liquidation price of $77,947.
Momentum indicators were weak but not oversold, with the one-hour RSI at 43 and daily RSI at 36.

On-chain analyst Ember reported that a whale has opened a $25.43 million short position in Anthropic pre-market contracts on Hyperliquid and is still adding to the position.
Anthropic is expected to list in about half a month, according to the report. Pre-market contracts across platforms imply a market capitalization of about $1.8 trillion, compared with an expected valuation of $1.75 trillion.
The trade centers on the gap between the implied pre-market valuation and the reported expected valuation, with listing timing and the final listing price identified as key near-term variables. The report cautions that a single whale position does not represent market consensus and notes liquidity and liquidation risks in pre-market contracts.
