According to CoinMeta, rating agency Scope Ratings stated that the results of the mid-term elections in the United States and Trump's acceptance of these results will help to support the country's credit rating. This rating agency, headquartered in Berlin, pointed out in an analysis report that the change in control of Congress after the Republican Party's heavy defeat, coupled with the White House's recognition of the election results, is of significant importance. Scope stated: "The Democrats' control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, along with Trump's quick acceptance of the Republican Party's defeat, marks an important turning point in the American system and confirms the resilience of the long-standing checks and balances in the U.S. These institutional safeguards will readjust the power distribution between the White House and Congress, achieving a certain degree of power rebalancing. This constitutes a positive factor for the U.S. credit situation and will also help to support its credit rating."
