Why did crypto crash on a day with no crypto news? The answer is in the stock market. 📰
$BTC $75,356 (-6.5% in 24h)
24h range: $75,208 – $80,643 · Volume: $2.09B
Nasdaq 100: -6.4% — worst day since March 2020
Chip stocks index: -12% — second-biggest fall on record
Here is the simple version. Democrats swept the US midterms on Tuesday. Markets first celebrated that the election was over — then read the result differently: a Democratic Congress could slow AI data-center building and tighten AI rules. Texas's new governor even campaigned on a data-center moratorium.
Chip stocks crashed — Nvidia -9%, AMD -17%. Tech crashed. And because big funds hold Bitcoin next to tech stocks, they sold both at once. The Nasdaq 100 lost $2.5 trillion in a day, and the fear gauge (VIX) jumped to its highest in 8 months.
$ETH is down 8.6% today, $BNB only 3.7% — but both fell with the same tide. Crypto did not cause this drop. It caught it.
