Trump victory sends Bitcoin soaring: What do crypto experts say?

As Donald Trump makes a comeback in the US elections, breaking many Democrat hearts across the nation, the former President’s win has ignited a crypto frenzy that has sent bitcoin to a record high. Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high of $76,000, marking a significant milestone in the digital asset market.

Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, gives an expert analysis of the crypto market. “In the short term, with Trump re-elected as president, the initial response may involve sidelined funds entering the market out of fear, driving the BTC price to new highs. The BTC ETF may see net inflows in the coming trading days, indicating that Wall Street institutions are optimistic about the market’s outlook. The long-to-short ratio of accounts in the futures market is below 1, suggesting that institutional investors in the crypto market are taking long positions through futures. The market is currently in a consensus phase of going long.

“In the medium to long term, Trump’s election could benefit BTC, but his policy direction may also increase inflation in the US, with interest rates potentially staying above 3.5% over the medium to long term. With the Republican sweep in Congress, there may be favorable developments in the regulatory framework for the crypto market, which would be a long-term positive for the industry.” — Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research

Dilip Chenoy, Chairperson of Bharat Web3 Association, said, “This surge is largely attributed to the favorable political climate of Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, which many believe will boost the adoption and regulation of virtual digital assets (VDAs). As institutional confidence grows, we believe this price increase could pave the way for more balanced regulatory frameworks and mainstream acceptance, enhancing the stability of the digital asset ecosystem.”
