Good evening, you're tuned in to Markets Desk.
Binance is back in positive territory after a brutal stretch, posting two point three billion dollars in net inflows over the past twenty-four hours. That reversal follows Monday's heavy withdrawals triggered by the exchange's six point three billion dollar hack, and signals that at least some confidence is returning to the platform as fund access is restored.
Staying in the digital asset space, Liquid Network says its bitcoin reserves are fully backed once again following September's three hundred twenty million dollar exploit. Blockstream stepped in to cover the shortfall, a significant backstop that will be closely watched as a test of whether institutional infrastructure can absorb these kinds of shocks without lasting damage to confidence.
Turning to equities and macro, Wall Street is already running scenarios on the two thousand twenty six midterm elections and what a Democratic sweep of Congress could mean for markets. The sectors drawing the most attention are artificial intelligence, energy, defense, and healthcare, where regulatory and spending trajectories could shift materially depending on how the balance of power moves on Capitol Hill.
That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
