2024 US elections live: Crypto on the ballot
The 2024 US elections saw Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump making final pushes for votes in key swing states. With nearly 80 million early and mail-in ballots cast, polls indicated a tight race. Voting hours were extended in Pennsylvania's Cambria County due to a software problem, leading to confusion and long lines. On the crypto front, Bitcoin experienced volatility, jumping to around $70,226 as election fever intensified. The election has turned into a significant moment for crypto regulation, with candidates expressing varying degrees of commitment to the industry. The FBI warned of misinformation targeting voters, highlighting the need for voters to be cautious. Results from key battleground states are expected to take longer due to close margins, reminiscent of the delayed announcements in the 2020 election. Analysts suggest that a win for Trump, viewed as pro-crypto, could catalyze price rallies in Bitcoin.
