Bitcoin's Long-Term Prospects

Bernstein experts predict that, regardless of the election outcome, Bitcoin has the potential to become a significant digital asset by 2025. This growth would be driven by the popularity of Bitcoin ETFs and an influx of institutional capital.

Policy Divergence: Impact on Cryptocurrencies

Trump has shown interest in cryptocurrencies, launching a DeFi project. Meanwhile, it's speculated Harris could take a cautious approach. Both candidates present opportunities to support the crypto industry through legislative changes.

Despite election attention, Bitcoin's resilience is maintained by factors beyond political events. Its future moves more likely reflect the overall maturation of digital assets.
