An analysis conducted by a prominent asset manager in the cryptocurrency industry suggests that the outcome of the upcoming November election in the United States will have a positive impact on Bitcoin (BTC). Matthew Sigel, the head of digital asset research at VanEck, recently released a report indicating that regardless of which political party emerges victorious, the result will ultimately be bullish for Bitcoin.
According to Sigel, both potential outcomes – a win by Kamala Harris or Donald Trump – are favorable for Bitcoin, with only subtle differences in their implications for the digital asset market. He predicts that both candidates are likely to continue or increase fiscal spending, leading to further quantitative easing (QE), which historically has been beneficial for the cryptocurrency market.
In the event that Kamala Harris wins the election, Sigel anticipates that Bitcoin will outperform other cryptocurrencies. He speculates that a Harris presidency, particularly if she aligns closely with the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic Party on financial policy, could lead to a more restrictive regulatory environment for digital assets in the US. However, he believes that this could ultimately drive greater adoption of Bitcoin due to its regulatory clarity and competitive edge over other digital assets.
On the other hand, Sigel suggests that a second term for Donald Trump would generally be positive for the entire crypto ecosystem. The Trump administration is expected to maintain a business-friendly approach, particularly towards cryptocurrencies, which could further fuel growth in the market.
Regardless of the election outcome, Sigel emphasizes that the trend of increasing fiscal deficits and national debt in the US is likely to continue. This economic environment is conducive to Bitcoin’s growth, as the weakening of the US dollar historically benefits the cryptocurrency.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $63,769, marking a 1.12% increase in the past day. It is clear that the upcoming election will play a significant role in shaping the future of the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin poised to benefit from either outcome.
