[Wu Blockchain News] US Stocks and Crypto Plunge as Democratic Sweep Fuels AI Regulation Fears
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
A Democratic sweep of both chambers of Congress triggered a sharp risk-off move across U.S. equities and crypto, with the Nasdaq Composite falling 5.10%, the S&P 500 dropping 3.43% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 2.41% intraday on fears of tighter AI-industry regulation and planned investigations into Trump family business dealings, including crypto ventures. Bitcoin fell 5.97% to $75,695.68 after touching a low of $75,568, while ether dropped 7.29% to $2,247.74, bottoming at $2,236.78, per Binance data. The scale of long liquidations underscores how crowded bullish positioning had become heading into the vote, amplifying the selloff beyond the equity move. Traders will watch whether Democrats' regulatory rhetoric translates into concrete AI and crypto legislation, and whether bitcoin can hold the $75,000 level as leverage is flushed out.
