Matrixport Predicts Bitcoin Surge if Trump Secures Second Term

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.
