Crypto Flashes Green Post-Midterms as ETH Jumps 6.79% and BTC Rises 4.42%
Crypto markets turned green after the U.S. midterm elections, with Ether leading the pack at 6.79% over 24 hours. Bitcoin rose 4.42%, XRP added 4.40% and Solana climbed 4.36%, according to CoinDesk.
Crypto is glowing green after the U.S. midterm elections. Ether led the charge with a 6.79% gain over the past 24 hours, while Bitcoin climbed 4.42%, according to a market note from CoinDesk.
The rally wasn't a one-coin show. XRP rose 4.40% and Solana added 4.36% over the same 24-hour stretch, putting the two altcoins almost neck and neck with Bitcoin's move.
CoinDesk tied the green candles to the midterm elections, which put voters at the polls and results rolling in during the same trading window. Ether stood apart from the pack, more than doubling Bitcoin's percentage jump.
Bitcoin, XRP and Solana finished the window clustered tightly together, all within a fraction of a percentage point of each other. Ether broke away from that group entirely.
The note from CoinDesk carried percentages only — no price levels and no explanation beyond the election timing for why the majors moved in the same direction at the same moment.
