Matrixport, a prominent digital asset platform, noted in its recent daily report that Bitcoin experienced a notable increase after Donald Trump’s primary election win in November 2016 when its price hovered around $700.
While the report emphasizes that relying on a single historical event is insufficient to identify a trend, it points to a generally optimistic market sentiment.
Analysts suggest that Trump’s potential return to office could lead to regulatory relaxations, which might positively impact Bitcoin’s value. Current betting markets indicate a 66.5% chance of Trump’s victory in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, one of the highest probabilities recorded.
This outlook is spurring speculation that a second Trump term could favor the cryptocurrency sector by facilitating regulatory changes and promoting institutional investment. Additionally, the report highlighted a surge in Bitcoin demand, with spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recording significant purchases totaling $800 million in a single day. Such inflows are tightening Bitcoin’s supply on exchanges, creating added buying pressure.
This recent enthusiasm underscores growing confidence in Bitcoin as a safeguard against economic turbulence, with many market participants anticipating that potential regulatory adjustments or more lenient fiscal policies under Trump’s administration could drive further price increases. As the November elections draw near, both analysts and investors are closely monitoring political shifts, positioning themselves for possible benefits in the cryptocurrency market.
