Analyst: Bitcoin fell after the last four US midterm elections

  • —Bitcoin fell 72% after the 2010 midterms and 65% after the 2014 vote
  • —The 2018 midterms were followed by a 52% drop, and 2022 by 27%
  • —Q4 performance varied widely: a 391% gain in 2010 versus a 42% drop in 2018
  • —The next US midterm elections are set for November 3, 2026
Why it matters: The midterm results will shape US crypto regulation, including the CLARITY Act, though historical data does not prove a causal link to Bitcoin declines.
