Bitcoin: Trump or Biden? Who can push BTC to $150K?

In a recent development, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US Supreme Court has cleared the way for Donald Trump to potentially enter the race for the 2024 presidential election by reinstating his name on the ballot in Colorado.

This event coincided with a momentous milestone in the financial world, as Bitcoin [BTC] prices surged to $67,000.

In addition to that, Anthony Scaramucci, a prominent figure in finance, emphasized the potential impact of President Joe Biden’s policies on the crypto market and broader financial landscape. 

Will Trump’s clearance lead to a Bitcoin surge 

While acknowledging Biden’s efforts, Scaramucci underscored the importance of maintaining democratic institutions and the rule of law.

Scaramucci noted,

“I tell Bitcoiners you are at risk if you get somebody that wants to destroy the institutions of the democracy, separation of powers in the constitution. The country has been made great, it is great — it doesn’t need to be made great again.”

With Trump’s ballot clearance secured, crypto markets anticipate a surge in confidence, reflecting the desire within the community for a leader supportive of decentralized currencies. 

However, Scaramucci advocated for a president who upholds traditional societal structures, foreseeing potential benefits for Bitcoin amid regulatory processes. He considers Biden’s commitment to the rule of law to speed up crypto regulations.

“But it’ll also be very good for Bitcoiners. You may not like the regulation coming out, but at least there’s a predictable process to the law. And we’ll continue to beat the Biden administration in the court system of the United States.”

Scaramucci further expressed concerns over Trump’s intentions, highlighting his perceived threats to press freedom by seeking to revoke FCC licenses of critics.

“Very, very clear that he wants to persecute journalists that don’t like him.”

The future ahead 

Thus, as the 2024 US Presidential election nears, Trump leads slightly in polls over Biden. However, uncertainties persist in the crypto community about Biden’s regulatory stance, raising concerns about its impact on innovation and industry growth. 

The sector remains vigilant as candidates’ positions on digital assets become crucial. But, the election’s outcome could shape cryptocurrency markets for years to come.
