CoinShares recently analyzed how the upcoming US elections could impact the cryptocurrency industry.
Donald Trump is emerging as a strong crypto supporter, while Kamala Harris’s position is less clear but potentially more moderate.
Trump has chosen J.D. Vance, a pro-crypto former venture capitalist, as his running mate. Vance is already drafting new crypto regulations and Trump is now actively supporting Bitcoin, accepting it for campaign donations and meeting with miners.
He has also promised to replace SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, criticizing his approach to crypto regulation.
Conversely, Kamala Harris’s views on cryptocurrency remain ambiguous. While her stance might be more balanced compared to President Biden’s, it’s uncertain how she would handle crypto issues.
Recent Democratic shifts towards re-evaluating crypto regulations could influence her stance, especially with 50 million Americans engaged in the industry.
The CoinShares report suggests that Trump’s presidency might create a mixed yet potentially beneficial environment for Bitcoin, whereas Harris may adopt a more measured approach, possibly aligning with Democrats who are advocating for crypto-friendly policies.
Cryptocurrency ownership in the U.S. has grown steadily over the past few years, but it remains far from widespread.
