Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP gained as the broader crypto market rose, while early US election results introduced a new political variable.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP gained as the broader crypto market rose, while early US election results introduced a new political variable. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,21,450 ($80,366.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by The Coin Republic, with live market data added, as of Wed, 04 Nov 2026 18:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The rally links major crypto assets to shifting expectations about the US midterm outcome and the legislative environment that could follow. Bitcoin’s recovery from below $76,000 is particularly relevant as markets assess whether the move can hold alongside this political backdrop.

Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin trades at $80,397 after moving above the $76,000 dip cited in coverage.
  • Ethereum leads the three assets with a 5.82% 24-hour gain.
  • XRP rose 2.40% over 24 hours but gained only 0.31% over seven days.
  • Total crypto market capitalization reached $2.76 trillion as sentiment remained in fear.

  3. BTC, ETH and XRP Advance as US Midterm Results Shape Market Outlook — this brief

The Coin Republic reported that Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP were attempting to recover at the start of November 4, with Bitcoin briefly trading below $76,000 before bouncing. Its coverage presented the early US election results as a new variable for a crypto market that was already navigating a delicate rebound, connecting the price action to political expectations without assigning a specific legislative outcome.

Crypto Daily emphasized the reported Democratic sweep of both the US House and Senate. The outlet framed that result as potentially complicating the legislative path during the final two years of the Trump administration, raising the question of how the new political alignment could affect broader markets and Bitcoin. No direct policy announcement or crypto-specific legislative change was identified in the supplied coverage.

Together, the two accounts show two different angles on the same development: The Coin Republic concentrates on the market’s immediate reaction and Bitcoin’s recovery from a sub-$76,000 level, while Crypto Daily concentrates on the congressional balance and what it could mean for governing and market policy. Both place the asset rally in the context of the US midterms, and the available summaries contain no conflicting price figure or account of the core result.

Live data show Bitcoin at $80,397, up 3.52% over 24 hours but essentially unchanged over seven days at 0.02%. Ethereum stands at $2,428.21, gaining 5.82% over 24 hours and 4.36% over seven days. XRP is priced at $1.31 after a 2.40% 24-hour rise, while its seven-day gain is 0.31%. The total crypto market capitalization is $2.76 trillion, with the broader market broadly higher.

The immediate significance is that the three assets are rising while the Fear & Greed index remains at 34, still in the Fear zone. The next points to monitor are whether Bitcoin maintains its position above the $76,000 level cited in the earlier coverage, whether Ethereum and XRP extend their short-term gains, and whether the reported congressional shift produces clearer developments in the legislative environment discussed by Crypto Daily.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.51M (about $80,366.00), up 3.6% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 11.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
