The Democrats' sweeping midterm victory is prompting Wall Street and major U.S. companies to reassess plans for large mergers and acquisitions. According to Sina Finance, although U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will retain antitrust approval authority, executives are concerned that the relatively permissive regulatory environment may not last once Democrats take control of both chambers of Congress. Some companies are considering advancing major deals to secure approval before the 2028 presidential election cycle gets fully underway. Wells Fargo banker Fernando Rivas said the market could again adopt a “do it now or lose the chance” mindset for mergers. Paul Nary, an associate professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, said major transactions take considerable time to negotiate and secure global regulatory approval, so companies should start preparing immediately and aim to announce deals before mid-2027. Large mergers are likely to face greater political scrutiny. More than half of the U.S.-involving mergers valued at least $50 billion announced over the past 20 years were announced during Donald Trump's two presidential terms. This year, Marvell Technology agreed to acquire optical communications company Lumentum for more than $100 billion, while Paramount Skydance agreed to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion. The latter deal received U.S. Justice Department approval without antitrust remedies. Democrats are expected to take control of both chambers in January. Although they cannot directly take over the Justice Department or Federal Trade Commission, they can scrutinize large mergers through hearings, investigations and subpoenas, including deals already approved or completed. Deals drawing lawmakers' attention include DoorDash's $17 billion acquisition of Maplebear, the parent company of Instacart; NextEra Energy's $67 billion acquisition of Dominion Energy; and the completed Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Disputes concern competition, consumer prices and corporate responsibility. A potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla, promoted by Elon Musk, could also face scrutiny. Musk had hoped to announce a merger in the first half of 2027. After Democrats won control of Congress, concerns grew that the companies' business and political activities could face closer investigations, weighing on their share prices. Cooling AI investment is adding uncertainty to some large deals. Data center expansion was a prominent issue in several states during the midterm elections, with results reflecting voter dissatisfaction with some related construction. Investors are concerned about the scale of AI infrastructure spending and the risk of tighter restrictions on future data center construction. Marvell and Lumentum shares fell after the election; the strategic value of their all-stock deal relies heavily on continued growth in data center and AI connectivity demand, and the share-price declines and changing industry outlook could add uncertainty about completion. Wall Street investment banks, which had strengthened ties with Republican figures to adapt to the Trump administration's regulatory environment, now need to rebuild communication channels with Democratic lawmakers. Nary said companies will also need strategies for congressional oversight, after merger advisers became increasingly familiar with the Trump administration's approval process.

According to ChainCatcher citing Caixin, the European Commission preliminarily found on November 6 that TikTok’s recommendation system creates a “rabbit hole effect” that makes it difficult for users to stop scrolling, violating the Digital Services Act (DSA). The Commission said TikTok’s existing mitigation measures were ineffective and called for changes to its “For You” algorithm, including relying more on users’ explicitly stated preferences, removing watch time as a recommendation signal, and making user controls easier to use. If the violation is confirmed, TikTok could face a fine of up to 6% of its global annual turnover. TikTok denied the allegations, saying the Commission’s claims are fundamentally untrue. The finding is preliminary, not a final penalty decision, and TikTok can exercise its right to defend itself.

Investors who spent the past year factoring countries’ standing with US President Donald Trump into Latin America trades now face a Democratic-controlled US Congress as a new variable, according to Bloomberg.

According to CNBC, Scott Colom’s U.S. Senate race against Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith remained uncalled as Mississippi continued counting ballots. If elected, Colom would become the state’s first Black senator since Reconstruction. Officials in the state’s 82 counties are reviewing absentee and affidavit ballots; absentee ballots may be received through Tuesday, and counties have until Friday to certify results. Mississippi law does not provide for a statewide recount.

"جولدن ويكلي" عبارة عن عمود أسبوعي يلخص صناعة البلوك تشين، أطلقته شركة جولدن فاينانس، ويغطي الأخبار الرئيسية ومعلومات التعدين وتحديثات المشاريع والتطورات التكنولوجية وديناميكيات الصناعة الأخرى.

التوقعات، العملات المشفرة، سوق العملات المشفرة، الفرص المقومة بأقل من قيمتها في سوق العملات المشفرة: يمكن تداول معدلات التمويل بشكل منفصل (التمويل الذهبي) - كل معاملة عملات مشفرة تقريبًا تخفي معاملة أخرى بداخلها.

يعتقد المحللون أن عقد SpaceX-Anthropic يتضمن "بند خروج ثنائي الاتجاه لمدة 90 يومًا" - إذا انخفض المعروض من قوة الحوسبة، يمكن لماسك إعادة تسعير قوة الحوسبة إلى 2-3 أضعاف سعر العقد الأصلي، مما يحدد بشكل مباشر مصير Anthropic ومستقبل مشهد الذكاء الاصطناعي بأكمله.

مع صدور نتائج العديد من الاستفتاءات والانتخابات المحلية في جميع أنحاء الولايات المتحدة في نوفمبر، وصلت المقاومة العامة لتوسيع مراكز بيانات الذكاء الاصطناعي إلى مستويات غير مسبوقة، حيث عارض 76% من الناخبين الذين شملهم الاستطلاع صراحة بناء مراكز البيانات في مجتمعاتهم في استطلاعات الرأي عند الخروج من مراكز الاقتراع.

بالنسبة للعديد من الأشخاص العاملين في صناعة العملات المشفرة، قد يكمن القلق الحقيقي في اتجاه آخر: بما أن السياسات المحلية قد حظرت بوضوح أنشطة تعدين العملات الافتراضية، فهل شراء أجهزة التعدين في الصين وتصديرها إلى مزارع التعدين الخارجية يشكل أيضاً تهريباً؟

يعتقد نومورا أن "الموجة الزرقاء" ستؤدي إلى إبطاء بناء مراكز البيانات الأمريكية من خلال تشديد اللوائح، مما سيؤدي إلى خفض أسعار رقائق الذكاء الاصطناعي العالمية وتسهيل حصول الشركات الصينية على وحدات معالجة الرسومات المتطورة وذاكرة HBM، وهو أمر مفيد بشكل عام لاقتصاد الذكاء الاصطناعي في الصين.
