Tokens linked to U.S. President Donald Trump led losses among the top 100 digital assets on Wednesday after Democrats swept the U.S. midterm elections, even as the broader crypto market advanced. According to Cointelegraph, Official Trump (TRUMP) fell 17% over 24 hours to $1.33, while World Liberty Financial (WLFI) dropped more than 7% to $0.047, based on CoinMarketCap data from around 5:32 p.m. UTC. TRUMP, the president’s official memecoin, launched in January 2025, while WLFI is the governance token of World Liberty Financial, a Trump family-backed decentralized finance project launched in 2024. Democratic victories, including surprise wins in Texas, followed Tuesday’s elections, with the party winning control of both the House and Senate from Republicans. The results could make it harder for Trump to advance his crypto plans and bring additional scrutiny to his family’s crypto businesses. Bitcoin rose more than 4% over 24 hours to around $80,500, and Ether gained 6% to $2,433. BNB rose 3%, XRP gained 2.6% and Solana climbed 2.5%, while the overall crypto market increased 3.4% to $2.69 trillion. Losses also affected other politically linked tokens. MELANIA, associated with First Lady Melania Trump, fell nearly 13% over 24 hours to around $0.066. VANCE, a token named after Vice President JD Vance with no confirmed official connection to him, dropped nearly 12%. The political memecoin sector’s market capitalization declined more than 16% on the day to $477 million, while trading volume jumped 123% to $437 million, according to CoinMarketCap data. Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, founder and CEO of DeFi platform Cap, told Cointelegraph that politically linked tokens may be more sensitive to changing expectations in Washington than established assets, which also respond to liquidity, institutional flows and macroeconomic conditions. He said the selloff may reflect a short-term election reaction, while raising questions about what could sustain demand beyond a token’s association with a political figure. The results also add uncertainty around U.S. crypto legislation, including the stalled Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act. The bill failed to advance in the Senate earlier this year after falling short of the 60 votes required. Democrats sought stronger ethics provisions and safeguards against conflicts of interest involving Trump’s crypto ventures, while four Republicans also opposed advancing the legislation. Peillard said the broader industry’s key question is whether Congress can establish a durable regulatory framework regardless of which party holds power.

U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni rejected the Capital Markets Alliance’s request for a temporary restraining order over single-stock perpetual contracts. According to Odaily, the court found that CMA had not shown its members faced imminent, irreparable harm, but said its claim that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission exceeded its authority could prevail. The court said the contracts appeared not to meet the definition of “security futures” and seemed closer to swaps regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The stock fell nearly 6% intraday before recovering most of its losses. Jim Cramer lowered his price target to $165 from $180, maintained a buy-equivalent rating and said the post-earnings decline made the shares more attractive; the revised target implies 38% upside from current levels. Qnity raised its full-year outlook, expecting sales of $5.77 billion to $5.83 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $4.95 to $5.05.
