The cryptocurrency market received an unprecedented boost after Donald Trump, a vocal advocate of the asset class, came to the brink of victory after winning the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.
What happened: The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 2:24 a.m. ET, as the highly charged cycle that saw cryptocurrencies become a significant election issue nears its end.
Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766547/trump-gives-victory-speech-in-florida-as-winning-pennsylvania-puts-him-at-brink-of-victory-vows-to-f">claimed victory</a> at the Palm Beach Convention Center, the home of his official election night party, although AP was yet to project him as the winner.
Bitcoin, the barometer of the market, set a new all-time high earlier, as odds of a Trump victory started increasing on prediction <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1730877376956">markets </a>like Polymarket and Kalshi.
As of this writing, Bitcoin cooled down to $73,000, as traders took profits on the rally.

Bitcoin's rise seemed unavoidable, as the former President had passionately advocated for the asset class, going to the extent of promising a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40671868/trumps-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-proposal-will-chip-away-dollars-status-warns-expert-money">national Bitcoin reserve</a>.

Cryptocurrency themed around the man himself Maga, rooted in the "Make America Great Again" movement, dipped somewhat after soaring as high as 18% Tuesday overnight.

Why It Matters: Daniel Cheung, co-founder of cryptocurrency hedge fund Syncracy Capital, expressed optimism for a "biblical" bull market for cryptocurrencies in the coming months.&nbsp;
He said that Trump&#8217;s presidency would be a 4-year call option on the market, with expectations of SEC Chair Gary Gensler <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/40002734/trump-says-bitcoin-will-skyrocket-like-never-before-if-he-returns-to-the-white-house-promi">being removed</a>, the U.S. adopting a sandbox approach to the sector, and a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve.
He also projected that Trump&#8217;s triumph would encourage retail participation, resulting in additional flows into the asset class.&nbsp;

At the time of Cuban&#8217;s concession, the Associated Press&#8217;s count showed Trump close to securing the presidency, with 267 of the required 270 electoral votes. Trump was also leading in key yet-to-be-decided races, including Michigan and Wisconsin.

Trump, who was addressing his supporters in New York, also praised his running mate, JD Vance, and acknowledged the role of tech mogul Elon Musk in his campaign.
What Happened: Trump, in his victory speech, lauded his supporters for overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges on Tuesday night. He expressed his determination to &#8220;fix everything about our country&#8221; and described his win as &#8220;the greatest political movement of all time.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://apnews.com/live/trump-harris-election-updates-11-5-2024">the</a> latest numbers from The Associated Press, Trump has 267 out of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.

Trump asserted that he had won both the popular vote and an Electoral College landslide with over 300 votes, although the final counts are still pending in several states.

Trump Gives Victory Speech In Florida As Winning Pennsylvania Puts Him At Brink Of Victory, Vows To 'Fix Everything About Our Country'

Republicans have taken control of the U.S. Senate, following victories in West Virginia and Ohio on Tuesday. This shift ensures that Donald Trump&#8217;s party will control at least one chamber of Congress in the coming year.
Jim Justice (R &#8211; W.Va) was projected to win an open Senate seat in West Virginia, succeeding Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), a Democrat-turned-independent. In Ohio, Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) was projected to defeat incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown (D- Ohio). These wins secure a 51-49 Republican majority in the Senate, with potential for further gains as additional results are tallied, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

Republicans also made early gains in the House of Representatives, aiming to expand their 220-212 majority. They captured a Democratic-held district in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden&#8217;s hometown of Scranton, and gained seats in North Carolina after redistricting. However, Democrats flipped a Republican seat in New York and another in Alabama, following a Supreme Court order to create a Black majority district.
In Delaware, Sarah McBride (D- Del.) made history as the first openly transgender member of Congress. Meanwhile, tight races in New York and California could determine the final House control, with results possibly delayed due to lengthy ballot counts in California.

Benzinga Election Update: At the Watch Party, Donald Trump Calls Elon Musk By Name, Says, "A New Star Is Born"

Elon Musk reported that X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced a significant surge in activity during the U.S. elections. 
What Happened: In a post on Wednesday, Musk shared a chart illustrating hourly mobile usage in the U.S., which showed a dramatic increase starting at 5 a.m. and peaking at 6 billion seconds by 11 p.m. ET.
This increase in usage aligns with the heightened interest in the Presidential election. As of the latest updates, Donald Trump was leading with 248 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris was trailing with 214 votes. The target for either candidate is to achieve 270 electoral votes to secure the presidency.

Why It Matters: The spike in activity on X during the election highlights the platform&#8217;s role in political discourse. Recently, Musk discussed the pressure he faced regarding the potential shutdown of X, comparing it to the challenges faced by Trump. During an appearance on Tucker Carlson's online show, Musk downplayed<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41765113/elon-musk-tells-tucker-carlson-that-the-pressure-he-faced-for-shutting-down-x-pales-in-comparison-wi"> his own experiences</a>, emphasizing the greater difficulties encountered by Trump. This conversation took place on Election Day from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. 
Additionally, Musk has expressed intentions to expand his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41763360/elon-musk-is-already-eyeing-2026-midterms-plans-to-expand-pro-trump-pac-beyond-current-election-ther">pro-Trump super PAC</a> beyond the current election, with a focus on the 2026 midterms and local races. He suggested that a Trump victory would reflect a public desire for change, indicating a potential shift in the political landscape. Musk&#8217;s remarks came during a live session on X, where he noted, "I think there&#8217;s a sea change in the country."

47th President Donald. J. Trump Speaks At Campaign Watch Party In Florida

EV startup Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOEV#NASDAQ">GOEV</a>) appointed Kunal Bhalla as its Chief Financial Officer on Oct. 31, following the resignation of Greg Ethridge.
What Happened: Bhalla has been with Canoo since late 2020 and served in multiple roles. Before Canoo, he was an investment banker with Rothschild and Co. as a Director of M&amp;A focused on the Mobility Technology sector.
Ethridge&#8217;s resignation was not the sole one recently at Canoo. Hector Ruiz, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Canoo, also resigned from the startup on Oct. 31. The company subsequently chose Sean Yan as&nbsp;General Counsel.
Canoo also said that it will temporarily reduce its workforce in Oklahoma City by furloughing 23% of its factory workers for a period of twelve weeks.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Canoo in September <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40570834/ev-startup-canoo-follows-teslas-footsteps-to-move-headquarters-from-california-to-texas">named Justin, Texas</a> as its new company headquarters. The company then said that about 137 engineering positions will relocate from California to Texas and Oklahoma beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024 as part of the headquarters relocation.
Canoo&#8217;s finances have recently been under duress. For the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40380998/canoo-reports-q2-results-reduced-expenses-lower-cash-outflow">three months ending June</a>, Canoo reported a revenue of $605,000 and adjusted net loss per share of $0.61. The company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of just $19.1 million as of Jun. 30.

Sales growth is now expected to be 23% to 27% at CER.&nbsp;
Given the current exchange rates versus the Danish krone, sales growth reported in DKK is still expected to be 1 percentage point lower than at CER. The guidance reflects expectations for sales growth in both North America Operations and International Operations, mainly driven by volume growth of GLP-1-based treatments for Obesity and Diabetes care. Continued pricing pressure within Diabetes and Obesity care is included in the guidance.&nbsp;
Following higher-than-expected volume growth in recent years, including GLP-1-based products such as Ozempic&#xAE; and Wegovy&#xAE; , combined with the expectation of continued volume growth and capacity limitations at some manufacturing sites, the outlook also reflects expected continued periodic supply constraints and related drug shortage notifications across a number of products and geographies. Novo Nordisk is investing in internal and external capacity to increase supply both short and long-term.
Operating profit growth is now expected to be 21% to 27% at CER. Given the current exchange rates versus the Danish krone, growth reported in DKK is now expected to be 2 percentage points lower than at CER.
The expectation for operating profit growth primarily reflects the sales growth outlook and continued investments in future and current growth drivers within Research, Development and Commercial. Within R&amp;D, investments are related to the continued expansion and progression of the early and late-stage pipeline. Commercial investments are mainly related to Obesity care market development activities as well as investments related to GLP-1 diabetes care.&nbsp;
Novo Nordisk now expects financial items (net) to amount to a loss of around DKK 0.1 billion. The effective tax rate for 2024 is now expected to be in the range of 20-21%.&nbsp;
Capital expenditure is still expected to be around DKK 45 billion in 2024, reflecting expansion of the global supply chain. The investments will create additional capacity across the supply chain, including manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), additional aseptic production and finished production processes as well as packaging capacity. In the coming years, the capital expenditure to sales ratio is still expected to be low double-digit.&nbsp;
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses are still expected to be around DKK 17 billion, including the impairment of ocedurenone.
