Nasdaq 100 futures slide nearly 1.5% as Democratic sweep odds hit 95%

Nasdaq 100 futures fell nearly 1.5% as betting markets priced the odds of a Democratic sweep at 95%. The move reflects investor concern that unified Democratic control could reshape tech-sector policy and complicate debt-ceiling negotiations, weighing on market stability. The selloff in equity futures signals risk-off sentiment that could spill into crypto markets, where major tokens and DeFi protocols remain sensitive to macro liquidity conditions. Traders will watch whether the sweep materializes and how quickly policy signals on taxes, regulation and the debt ceiling emerge.
