Official Trump Memecoin (TRUMP) Falls After Democrats Win Both Chambers of Congress

The official Trump memecoin was among the biggest decliners in the crypto market on Wednesday, after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the US midterm elections.

Polygon Proposes Hard Fork to Recover 70.49 Million POL Tied to Polymarket and Binance Hacks

CZ Urges Traders to Revoke SignalPlus API Keys as Binance Removes Access

Trump Media Moves 4,259 Bitcoin (BTC) to Crypto(.)com Ahead of November 30 Note Repayment Option

Wallets linked to Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), the parent company of Truth Social, have moved 4,259 BTC to Crypto(.)com, an unusual transfer that could be connected to the company's November 30 debt decision.

What the Markets Think

Blue mega-tsunami in 2026? 99.6%. The market locked in the Democratic sweep hours before networks called it, and the official Trump token is paying the price this morning.

Will Bitcoin reach $100k in November? 27%. BTC is trading around $80,000 today after Trump Media moved 4,259 coins to an exchange, and traders are pricing less than one in four odds it reclaims six figures this month.

Dem sweep & Gas hits $3.50 by end of 2026? 6% "Yes, sweep and $3.50 gas", 94% "Sweep but no $3.50 gas". The new Congress will control energy policy, but traders think pump prices stay below that threshold.

Ethereum above $2,400 on November 5? 65%. ETH is hovering near that line today as the Canary Staked Injective ETF gets Nasdaq approval, keeping altcoin ETF speculation alive.

The Big Story

Nasdaq Approves Listing of Canary Staked Injective (INJ) ETF Under Ticker INJC

Nasdaq has approved the listing of the Canary Staked INJ ETF, a fund that would give US investors regulated exposure to Injective's INJ token along with staking rewards.

The ticker is INJC, and Canary Capital has said the fund will stake INJ through validators on the Injective blockchain.

This marks another altcoin ETF crossing the approval threshold in 2026.

The listing follows similar altcoin ETF greenlights earlier this year, and signals continued momentum in the regulated crypto investment product space.

Injective (INJ) led CoinGecko top 100 gainers at $7.93 as crypto markets rebounded on Wednesday.
