Bitcoin has not priced in potential Democratic midterm victory, Hilbert CIO warns

Hilbert Group maintains limited risk exposure ahead of the US midterms as Bitcoin faces technical weakness and growing demand for downside protection. Bitcoin has not fully priced in the possibility of a significant Democratic victory in Tuesday’s US midterm elections, according to Russell Thompson, chief investment officer at Hilbert Group, who warned that political uncertainty could add pressure to an already weakened market. Thompson cited prediction markets assigning a 94% probability to Democrats taking control of the House, with seat projections showing 235 Democrats against 186 Republicans.
