Trump-linked tokens lead crypto losses after Democrats sweep in the US midterms

What happened

After Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections, Trump Media shares fell 24.54% during Wednesday’s regular session, then rose 1.33% after hours to $4.55. Reports also said Trump-linked tokens fell, while the broader crypto market rallied.

Global impact / market context

The reports link the declines in Trump-linked investments to the election result. This may affect ordinary investors holding those assets, while the wider crypto market moved in the opposite direction. The reports do not establish what happens next.
