BROBROK News · Based on reporting by The Block ·
Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000, and ether also posted a strong gain. The market appeared to look past the midterm election outcome, while Bitwise said the Binance hack had only a limited effect on prices.
Key points
- BTC rose 3.5% to $80,500
- ETH gained 6%
- Democrats won Congress, according to the available summary
- Bitwise said the Binance hack had limited market impact
Why it matters
The move suggests crypto traders focused more on broader market sentiment than on the political headline. It also shows that the Binance incident did not, at least immediately, trigger a broad selloff.
