Bitcoin rebounds to $80,000 as Democrats gain full control of Congress

Bitcoin and Ethereum staged a recovery early Wednesday, with Bitcoin rising from a six-week low to trade near $80,000, while Ethereum climbed to $2,434. The uptick came after Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress in the latest U.S. midterm elections, a result that could have significant implications for digital asset regulation. The rebound in crypto prices took place alongside a rally in U.S. equity markets, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 2.5% and broader stock indexes advancing 1.6%.
