Harris win unlikely to rock Bitcoin price, but crypto fears persist
The upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election is raising concerns among crypto investors about the implications of a potential Kamala Harris victory. While some analysts, like those at Bernstein, predict a significant drop in Bitcoin's price under a Harris administration due to her ties to President Biden’s perceived anti-crypto stance, others are more optimistic. Pseudonymous trader Crypto Rand anticipates a temporary dip of 5% to 10% in Bitcoin but foresees a broader bull market continuing into early 2025. Chief economist Youwei Yang argues that increased monetary liquidity could support crypto, regardless of regulatory challenges. Industry leaders express worry about Harris's unclear crypto policy and its potential to drive businesses overseas for better regulatory clarity. Investor Mark Cuban suggests that a new SEC chair under Harris could lead to clearer regulations, improving the environment for crypto firms. Most observers agree a Harris presidency may not stop the crypto trend but could create uncertainty for the U.S. industry, prompting companies to consider relocating to more crypto-friendly jurisdictions.
