Bitcoin's Price: Will the U. S. Election Make or Break It?

Bitcoin is flirting with a new record high, but the U. S. election might put a temporary hold on that. In October, Bitcoin closed above $70, 000 for the first time since March, but it's been struggling to stay there. The focus now is on the U. S. presidential election. Investors are worried that the outcome could shake up Bitcoin's price. Nic Puckrin, CEO of Coin Bureau, thinks the election is driving Bitcoin's price movements. Both candidates have different views on crypto. Trump is seen as more crypto-friendly, while Harris is more cautious. However, there's a growing consensus in Washington to support the crypto industry, no matter who wins. Bitcoin has been moving with prediction markets, rising with Trump's chances and falling with Harris'. On election night, Bitcoin's price could swing based on the results. Historically, October and November are strong months for Bitcoin. Bitcoin's supply is slowing down due to a supply-controlling event called halving, which happened six months ago. But demand is rising, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting over $23 billion since January. Investors are confident in Bitcoin's future, even if the election causes short-term volatility.
