Positive Sentiment Surges as US Election Nears Final Stages
Bloomberg analysis suggests that the recent Bitcoin price rally is driven by investor optimism that the newly elected president will help bolster the crypto industry through improved regulatory policies. While presidential candidate Trump has vowed to replace SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, candidate Kalama Harris has pledged to support a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
However, Blackrock CEO Laurence Fink expressed that the outcome of the election might not significantly impact the sector.
“Well, first, I’m not sure if either President or other candidate would make a difference. I do believe the utilization of digital assets are going to become more and more of a reality worldwide. Conversations we’re having with institutions worldwide, conversations about how should they think about digital assets, what type of asset allocation there should be. I mean, we believe Bitcoin is an asset class in itself.” – Laurence Fink said.
