On November 6, at 3:30 p.m. Beijing time (early morning local U.S. time), Republican candidate Donald Trump officially confirmed his victory as the new President of the United States. Trump won with approximately 51.94% of the popular vote, defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
Since the U.S. presidential election vote count began on November 5, the <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">cryptocurrency market</a>, led by BTC, has seen a general rise. On the morning of November 5, BTC briefly dropped below $67,000 but rebounded in the evening to surpass $70,000. By the morning of November 6, BTC surged, briefly breaking through $75,000 to set a new all-time high. Following the final election results, BTC briefly pulled back to consolidate around $73,000.
As a more crypto-friendly candidate than Harris, Trump made several campaign promises that favored the cryptocurrency industry:
-Committing to ending regulatory hostility towards the crypto industry;
-Pledging to protect the right to mine <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> and for the U.S. citizens to self-custody their digital assets;
-Promising to release Ross Ulbricht, convicted of creating the Silk Road darknet market;
-Promising to keep Senator Elizabeth Warren (proponent of strict crypto regulations) and her "enforcers" away from <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> holders;
-Vowing to replace Federal Reserve Chair Gary Gensler on his first day in office;
-Committing to establish a national <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> strategic reserve, with no intention of selling;
-Pledging to create a <a href="/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> advisory council;
-Declaring no support for a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
Trump’s election win has significant implications for U.S. policy direction, economic development, and the <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a>. Over recent years, his stance on cryptocurrency has evolved, from initially criticizing Bitcoin and other digital currencies to showing interest in blockchain, accepting crypto donations, and even launching his own DeFi product. His return to office has greatly invigorated trading enthusiasm in the <a href="/price" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">crypto market</a>. How should we view Bitcoin's trajectory moving forward?
