After Trump's victory in the US presidential election, financial markets showed rapid growth. Bitcoin set a record of $75,000, Tesla shares rose by 12%, and the dollar strengthened its position.

Following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, global financial markets responded with rapid growth, and the cryptocurrency sector has shown a significant rise. Olena Sosiedka , co-founder of Ukraine's first fintech ecosystem, Соnсоrd Fintech Solutions, shared her thoughts on this impact, including on cryptocurrencies, stock markets, and international currencies, with UNN.

Earlier, Olena Sosiedka told UNN that the "Defiant Ones" crypto platform announced by US presidential candidate Donald Trump could lead to a number of challenges in regulating the crypto sphere, as well as volatility in the market. At the same time, it may push other countries, including Ukraine, to adopt additional laws regulating the cryptocurrency market.

The expert also noted that statements by politicians of Trump's stature always have a significant impact on the markets. The cryptocurrency market is no exception. Therefore, Trump's announcement of the creation of a crypto platform can both strengthen confidence in cryptocurrencies and raise concerns. Political rhetoric can influence investor behavior and change the perception of cryptocurrencies in society, which in turn affects market trends.

After it became known that Trump had won the election, markets reacted immediately.

Positive signal for cryptocurrencies: record-breaking bitcoin

According to the fintech expert, the support of the crypto industry by the future American president has created optimism in the market, which has attracted both private and institutional investors. In particular, many large players started buying bitcoin, which caused its value to rise and pulled other cryptocurrencies, such as ethereum and litecoin, along with it.

"Thanks to Trump's positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies, the prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have risen sharply. Immediately after the election, bitcoin set a record, rising to $75,000, and ethereum and other altcoins also showed impressive growth. These changes can be explained by the fact that in his election campaign, Trump promised to turn the United States into a "bitcoin superpower" and ease regulatory barriers for cryptocurrencies," said Sosedka.

In addition, according to Elena Sosedka, the US cryptocurrency market will receive additional support in the future due to the composition of the new Congress. According to the CEO of Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges, this composition is "the most pro-cryptocurrency in the history of the United States." The House of Representatives and the Senate now have 219 pro-cryptocurrency candidates, and their number will continue to grow.

"This creates new opportunities for creating a favorable regulatory environment," says Olena Sosedka.

In addition, she said, investors predict that changes in regulatory policy could create favorable conditions for cryptocurrencies. "Investors are also expecting a shift in the focus of cryptocurrency regulation from the SEC to the more loyal Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This promise may lead to an inflow of new investments into the cryptocurrency market and further growth of its capitalization," the fintech expert summarized.

Reaction of fundsof the marketof the market: support from tech giants and Tesla's record

According to Olena Sosiedka, the US stock market experienced a sharp rise – stock markets gained $1.28 trillion over the day. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices rose by 2-3%, and special attention was drawn to Tesla shares, which added 12% to their value, increasing Elon Musk's wealth by $15 billion.

"This increase is directly related to Musk's support for Donald Trump and investors' expectations for future economic policy. The growth of Tesla shares has increased Musk's personal wealth by $15 billion, bringing his total fortune to $264 billion," the fintech expert explained.

Currency market reaction

After it became known that Donald Trump had won the presidential election, the US dollar strengthened against major world currencies in the currency markets. According to Olena Sosiedka, this is due to the growing confidence of investors in the stability of the US economy and the expected tax changes.

"This is due to investors' confidence in possible economic stability and the new administration's plans, which include tax cuts and support for tech companies," the fintech expert explained.

At the same time, she pointed out that the currencies of countries such as Iran have weakened. This is due to concerns about possible changes in US foreign policy.

"Donald Trump's victory has already led to significant changes in global financial markets. His support for the cryptocurrency sector has created additional demand for bitcoin and other digital assets, particularly from institutional investors. At the same time, Trump's victory strengthened the position of technology companies such as Tesla and led to a stronger dollar. The new administration is expected to promote the development of the crypto industry and reduce regulatory barriers, which creates positive expectations for financial markets in general," summarized Olena Sosiedka.

Frankenburg Technologies will provide Ukraine with samples of the new air defense missile for testing. If successful, the missiles, capable of destroying targets at an altitude of up to 2 km, may be manufactured in Ukraine.

Estonia will provide Ukraine with samples of a new low-cost air defense missile made by Frankenburg Technologies for testing. In case of successful testing, the production of these missiles may be organized in Ukraine.

Writes UNN with reference to the Ministry of Defense.

Our goal is to help Ukraine win this war. To do this, we offer a sample of a new inexpensive missile to shoot down air targets, primarily unmanned aerial vehicles

– said Kusti Salm, CEO of Frankenburg Technologies, during a meeting in Kyiv between Brigadier General Anatoliy Klochko, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, and the company's management.

The first samples for testing will arrive in the coming months. Ukraine will test missiles designed to combat drones, which are capable of destroying targets at an altitude of up to 2 km.

In the event of successful testing and approval of further use, the production of these missiles can be established in Ukraine. The parties have already preliminarily discussed the possibility of agreeing on a financing format for this production.

The Canadian government demands that TikTok's office be closed due to threats to national security. The use of the app is not prohibited, but the authorities warn of risks to users' personal data.

Canada demands to close the TikTok office due to threats to national security. This was reported by the Canadian government, UNN reports.

Details

According to the information, the use of the app is not prohibited in Canada, but the government points out potential risks associated with ByteDance's activities.

The Minister of Innovation and Science of Canada said that the decision was based on the data obtained during the inspection and recommendations of the country's security authorities. He emphasized that the government does not restrict citizens' access to TikTok and does not prohibit the creation of content in this application. However, the authorities urge Canadians to pay attention to the possible risks to personal data associated with the use of platforms that may be influenced by foreign countries.

Experts explained the reasons for geolocation and time failures in smartphones during air raids. The problem arises due to the use of electronic warfare devices that can alter GPS signals.

EW can suppress or alter the signal. This is a fake signal from the satellite to the GPS receiver. As a result, mobile phones believe it because there is no authentication.

Vitaliy Yakushev, the company's director of cybersecurity, said this during a telethon, UNN reports .

EW can suppress the signal, but it can also change the signal as an element of electronic warfare, spoofing it. This is simply a fake signal from the satellite to the GPS receiver

– Yakushev said.

Aviation expert Bohdan Dolintse noted that this misleads the control systems or navigation systems of various devices, including drones, so that they do not correctly determine their location.

And then they either changed their route from the goals they set during the launch, or they could return to some other zone, for example, in the direction from which they came

– Dolinze said.

Yakushev explained that in such a situation he sees a cell phone.

He believes this because there is no authentication, no verification of the authenticity of the person who transmits to the transmitter, so the receiver is like, 'Thank you for the information, now I'm in Kursk. Here's the weather in Kursk, the time

– Yakushev said.

Such geo-position distortions help air defense systems to filter out fake targets during drone attacks The solution to this problem is easy: turn off geolocation.

AddendumAddendum

On November 5, Ukrainians began complaining about the malfunctioning of their smartphone clocks: some users' clocks are “in a hurry.” In addition, the wrong location appears on the phones.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine explained the reasons for the disruption of the precise time system in mobile phones during the air raid. The malfunctions are caused by the use of electronic warfare and GPS coordinates spoofing.

The General Staff also advises to disable the automatic time update mode in the phone and to take into account that the accuracy of satellite navigation systems may be disrupted during air alerts.

Ukrainians are asked to send information about enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the occupied territories to the eVorog chatbot. The Minister of Digital Transformation reminded of the importance of security in data collection and transmission.

Ukrainians were urged to send information about enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to the eVorog chatbot, UNN reports.

"Tanks are shelling dugouts and trenches, helping the enemy to attack and break through the defense line, while combat vehicles ensure the rapid movement of soldiers and destroy infantry. The enemy's tanks and combat vehicles prevent our military from defending the territory, especially in difficult areas of the front," said Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology, Minister of Digital Transformation.

According to him, the Security and Defense Forces need information about:

– Tanks. Large, low and wide structures with a noisy engine, massive gun and armor on the front and sides, on wide tracks.

– ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS. Compact, with narrow tracks and a raised front hull.

"Look carefully at the equipment in the photo. If you are in the temporarily occupied territories and have seen something similar, please send information to eVorog – @evorog_bot. Remember to stay safe! Take photos only if you are sure that no one is around, immediately delete chatbot messages and photos, and clear the Deleted folder and messenger cache. Information from people's intelligence is needed by the military at the front, and your application to the chatbot can save lives," said Fedorov.

Scientists have discovered signs of a deep liquid ocean beneath Miranda's surface based on Voyager 2 images. The researchers believe that remnants of this ocean may still exist today.

A recent study has revealed an amazing find on Miranda, one of Uranus' moons. The discovery would put it on the short list of worlds with potentially habitable environments.

Writes UNN with a link to the scientific website Space.

Over the past few decades, planetary scientists have been steadily adding to the list of satellites in our solar system that may contain interior oceans, either now or at some point in the past. For the most part, these satellites (such as Europa or Enceladus) have been gravitationally bound to the gas giants Jupiter or Saturn.

Recently, however, scientists have turned their attention to the ice giant Uranus, the coldest planet in the solar system.

A new study, based on images taken by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, reveals a deep liquid ocean hidden beneath the surface of Miranda, an icy moon of Uranus.

Remnants of this ocean may still exist today, according to Caleb Strom, a graduate student at the University of North Dakota who worked with Nordheim and Alex Pattoff of the Institute for Planetary Science in Arizona. Experts have been reviewing Voyager 2 images with the goal of explaining Miranda's mysterious geology by reverse engineering surface features.

Researchers have found traces of a massive underground water reservoir on Mars at a depth of 11.5-20 km. The discovery may change the understanding of the planet's evolution and the possibility of microorganisms.
