victory

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that the Binance black swan event and the significant victory of the Democratic Party in the United States have had a considerable impact on both the AI stock market and the cryptocurrency market. Investors need to continuously adjust their strategies based on the market environment. Although there have been multiple successful exits at the peak previously, it is still necessary to be cautious of prematurely bottom-fishing at this stage, to avoid catching a falling knife at the "halfway up the mountain."

According to a report by the American financial media Semafor, a memorandum shows that Public First Action, associated with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, and its affiliated super political action committee believe that AI safety advocates view the U.S. midterm elections as a significant victory and are formulating the next phase of their action plan.Public First, which has received substantial funding from Anthropic and advocates for regulatory safeguards for artificial intelligence, stated that the super political action committee Leading the Future, which supports AI development, has already "suffered a crushing defeat." The organization also warned that interpreting this round of elections and the decline of Leading the Future as the end of large tech companies' AI political strategies would be a mistake.The goals set by the organization for 2027 include: promoting legislation on AI in Congress that does not exclude states' rights to legislate independently, supporting candidates advocating for AI safety regulation, and utilizing the current $30 million in funds to counter the messages conveyed by the pro-AI development camp.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that after the Democratic Party won both houses of the U.S. Congress, significant progress in key digital asset legislation is still expected to be difficult, and the leadership of congressional committees will also change. He mentioned that Elizabeth Warren may become the chair of the Senate Banking Committee, while Maxine Waters is expected to regain control of the House Financial Services Committee.Several Republican lawmakers who support the crypto industry were defeated, but the pro-crypto camp did not suffer a complete loss. According to Stand With Crypto, 19 pro-crypto senators and 226 pro-crypto representatives have been elected. Tracking by Molly White shows that in 12 highly competitive elections, the side supported by crypto and AI political action committees lost 9, but won all in the safer 40 elections.Reports indicate that House Democrats are discussing expanding Waters' previously proposed "Crypto Investor Consumer Rights Act" into a broader crypto market structure bill. Thorn reiterated that no substantial progress is expected in Congress on key digital asset legislation. In the absence of legislation, the SEC, CFTC, and banking regulators have clarified crypto rules within their existing statutory authority, and the Trump administration still has two years to continue advancing related work.

After the Democratic Party won the midterm elections, U.S. stocks surged significantly on Wednesday, but as investors continued to pull out of tech stocks for the second consecutive trading day, the Nasdaq Composite Index plummeted on Thursday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell by 3.3%, and the S&P 500 Index dropped by 1.9%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 489 points, a decline of 0.9%. Although stocks like Chevron and Johnson & Johnson rose, it was not enough to offset the drag on the Dow from the tech stock sell-off. AI-related stocks, especially those in the chip industry and data centers, fell for the second day in a row.According to Gate market data, AMD (AMD.O) fell by 12%, Micron Technology (MU.O) dropped by 9%, SK Hynix (SKHY.O) decreased by 8.8%, and Nvidia (NVDA.O) fell by 5%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plummeted by 8%, reaching a new low since April 20. The Nasdaq Composite Index has dropped more than 10% from its closing record high set on October 6.Investors are concerned that the Democratic Party controlling both houses of Congress and winning key gubernatorial elections may lead to more regulation of AI infrastructure development across the United States.Jordan Watson, portfolio manager at Tandem Investment Advisors, stated that the stock market surge and the trend of funds pulling out of AI stocks may only be a temporary phenomenon. However, as investors digest the election results and their potential policy impacts, the market may face more volatility.

On the night of the U.S. midterm elections, the Silicon Valley podcast All-In held a live broadcast where several tech investors discussed the potential impact of the Democratic Party's victory on the AI industry. Host Chamath Palihapitiya stated that AI investment has become an important pillar of U.S. economic growth, and the construction of data centers heavily relies on power supply. If the Democrats restrict the construction of new data centers in places like Texas, the entire AI industry could be affected. Host Jason Calacanis suggested that the tech industry, which had previously actively supported Trump, should now proactively engage with the Democrats to collaborate on AI regulatory policies. He also believed that the tech community's repeated warnings about AI potentially leading to human extinction and massive unemployment have exacerbated public fear of AI.All-In regular guest and founder of Altimeter Capital, Brad Gerstner, believes that many Democratic winners simply hope to have more say in AI regulation and do not intend to completely halt AI. He estimates that the power capacity for new data centers in the U.S., originally planned for 2027, may see 10 to 15GW unable to be operational on time. He remains optimistic about the growth of AI model companies and stated that as an existing investor in Anthropic, even if data center construction is hindered, Altimeter still hopes to be one of the largest buyers at the time of Anthropic's IPO.

According to The Block, the crypto advocacy organization Digital Chamber (TDC) stated that Sherrod Brown's victory is "the most adverse outcome for the crypto industry," and that his priorities regarding financial stability, consumer protection, bank regulation, and illicit finance issues may influence the Democratic Party's overall attitude toward the crypto industry.

According to Bitcoin.com, CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill stated regarding the results of the U.S. midterm elections on November 3 that Bitcoin has largely priced in the expectations of a Democratic victory. With uncertainty removed, there is room for a rebound, and the expected results may not necessarily trigger another round of selling.Butterfill warned that a greater concern is the slowdown in crypto reform. The Clarity Act faces a more difficult path, and investigations into Trump-related businesses may consume political capital and generate unsettling headlines in the industry. He believes that U.S. crypto stocks may be more sensitive than Bitcoin, especially exchanges, token issuers, and businesses reliant on new regulatory licenses.Butterfill also mentioned that compliant operators could benefit from competitors facing stricter scrutiny. For Bitcoin, real yields, dollar liquidity, and ETP fund flows remain more important than the elections.

According to CoinDesk, after the Democratic Party won the U.S. midterm elections and will control both houses of Congress, Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that the foundation for the development of the cryptocurrency industry is stronger than the efforts of the previous Congress. The industry has characteristics of bipartisanship, globalization, and institutionalization, and will not stagnate due to election results.Grayscale previously estimated that 80% to 85% of global cryptocurrency activity occurs outside the United States; however, this data is only indicative, and some metrics cover all of North America. BlackRock's digital assets head Robert Mitchnick stated before the election results were announced that the election would have "little impact" on their product issuance and capital inflows, as Bitcoin and Ethereum already possess most of the regulatory clarity required for investment products.

Despite the possibility that the Democratic Party may push for stricter restrictions on data center construction after winning the election, Nvidia's stock price still rose on Wednesday. This is because the positive performance reported by major companies in the chip industry indicates that market concerns about delays in data center construction have not immediately affected Nvidia and other hardware companies.Customers are still rushing to stockpile artificial intelligence hardware, even though it is currently uncertain whether there will be suitable locations to install these devices in the future. The defeat of Republican governors in Texas and Ohio in the election means that the construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure will face stricter scrutiny.Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, wrote in a research report: "Increased oversight from Congress does not necessarily hinder the artificial intelligence investment cycle. Comprehensive federal-level restrictions will face legislative and presidential power constraints, while state and local regulations will still have a greater impact on the timing and location of data center construction." If Democratic politicians indeed push for stringent measures to limit the construction of artificial intelligence data centers, Nvidia will face greater challenges in the future.However, the market is currently more focused on signs that chip demand remains strong after the stock's recent weak performance.

The election forecasting agency Decision Desk Headquarters (DDHQ) predicts that Democrat Adam Hamilton successfully flipped a federal Senate seat in Kansas. He capitalized on voter dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump's tariff policies and public discontent caused by rising fuel prices due to the Iran war, becoming the first Democrat elected to the federal Senate from this American Great Plains state since 1932.According to preliminary vote counts, with 84% of ballots reported, Hamilton leads Republican Senator Roger Marshall with a vote percentage of 53% to 44%. DDHQ has declared Hamilton the winner, but other television media have yet to predict a winner.According to predictions from DDHQ and several television media outlets, Democrats have currently flipped five seats in the federal Senate elections, coming from North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, and South Carolina. The Democrats originally needed to gain a net of four seats to control the Senate, provided that the party did not lose existing seats in other states.

According to CNN, several Republican figures involved in the House elections are concerned about the preliminary results currently announced, believing that the Democrats may achieve a significant victory tonight.Due to the undecided results of key Senate and gubernatorial elections, a Republican official from Georgia stated that multiple Republican campaign teams are worried that the voter turnout in Georgia may not be sufficient for them to defeat the Democrats.In Texas, several Republican officials warned that if the voter turnout among Republican voters is not high today, it could be very difficult for this party, which has dominated Texas politics for over 30 years, tonight.

Vitalik posted on the X platform to congratulate the @zksync Airbender team for achieving this milestone. He believes that the speed competition of zkEVMs has achieved a decisive victory, and the primary focus should shift entirely to security.Vitalik stated that this means there is a need to formally verify the equivalence of arithmetic and Ethereum specifications, the hard upper limit of the ratio of prover costs to total block Gas, and the security of the proof system itself.
