In a stunning election outcome, Donald Trump is poised to return to the White House after securing key battleground states like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. Republicans have also gained control of the Senate, and Trump’s performance outshined his 2020 tally in several regions. Speaking to supporters, the GOP nominee celebrated what he called a “political victory that our country’s never seen before.”

Markets are reacting powerfully: U.S. stock futures have surged, the dollar reached a one-year high, and Treasuries have slumped amid concerns of potential budget deficits and inflation. For those who invested with an eye on Trump’s policies, the results represent a moment of vindication. Notably, Tesla shares surged in premarket trading as investors anticipate gains for Elon Musk’s enterprises under Trump 2.0. Bitcoin, too, hit a record high, driven by expectations of crypto-friendly policies.

In Ohio’s Senate race, blockchain entrepreneur and Republican Bernie Moreno unseated the Democratic incumbent, a significant win for the crypto industry, which heavily backed his campaign. This victory further strengthens crypto’s standing in the U.S., with a 76% rise in token prices this year adding to the momentum.

Stay tuned to our live coverage as we dive into the implications of these historic results on the economy, markets, and policies that will shape the future.
