The next U.S. president will soon be decided, and for the crypto sector, these moments can define the market’s next major trend.
While the essence of cryptocurrencies is to stand apart from traditional markets and finance, the reality is that these events and news can completely shift investor sentiment, causing extreme market volatility.
Here’s a look at what could happen to the crypto market after the U.S. presidential elections and how these events typically impact the market.
Who Is the Best Candidate for the Crypto Market?
For the first time, cryptocurrencies have become a hot topic during the U.S. presidential elections:
If Trump returns to the presidency, he promises to “rebuild the economy” by maintaining tax cuts to stimulate investment and growth, as well as increasing spending to improve the country’s conditions and create jobs. These expansionary expectations generally have a positive impact on the crypto market.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris was part of the Biden administration, which viewed digital assets as a risk to the financial system. However, the candidate has recently hinted at supporting investments in digital assets. If she is elected, we might see a shifting stance on the state of the crypto market.
What Might Happen to the Crypto Market After the U.S. Presidential Elections?
Based on previous scenarios, there is a strong possibility that Bitcoin could experience at least a 10% movement in either direction, depending on the candidate who wins the U.S. presidential election.
Moreover, Bitcoin nearly reached a new all-time high last week, briefly hitting $74,649. Considering these movement expectations, there is a good chance that Bitcoin could reach a new ATH (All-Time High) post-elections if the market believes the right candidate has won.
