Dow futures surge over 1,100 points as Democrats win US midterm elections

The move reads less as a verdict on the election outcome than as relief that a known result replaced an open question, with the small-cap outperformance suggesting domestic-focused names were most sensitive to that overhang. For crypto and RWA markets, the signal is indirect: this is a risk-on, volatility-reducing reaction in traditional equities, not a digital-asset story, and no policy link is drawn in the material. Whether that relief bid holds once trading moves past the futures session is the open question.
