On Monday evening, Bitcoin surged briefly above $70,000, fueled by excitement around the upcoming U.S. election and an anticipated earnings report from MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. As a result, crypto-linked stocks like MicroStrategy and Coinbase also saw positive momentum. MicroStrategy shares gained nearly 9%, closing at their highest price since March, while Coinbase stock experienced a 5% increase.

Both companies are set to release new earnings <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/28/crypto-market-today.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">reports</a> this week, with market analysts increasingly optimistic that Bitcoin will surpass its March high of $73,797 by year’s end. This confidence is partly driven by the potential for U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts following the presidential election, adding to Bitcoin's appeal as a hedge.
<h2>Election Could Reshape U.S. Crypto Policy</h2>
The 2024 <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/ethereum-poised-for-potential-breakout-amid-election-liquidity-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">election</a> could prove pivotal for cryptocurrency regulation, with the possibility of a new head at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and policy shifts that could benefit the $2.49 trillion industry. Former President Donald Trump, once critical of digital assets, has recently endorsed Bitcoin, pledging to establish the U.S. as the “crypto capital” if elected. Trump’s campaign promises include replacing current SEC Chair Gary Gensler with a crypto-friendly leader and advocating for regulatory clarity, which has led the crypto industry to back him significantly.
<h3>Record Campaign Contributions from Crypto Sector</h3>
A Public Citizen report revealed that the crypto industry has invested a record $119 million in election-related efforts this year. With Trump’s endorsement of Bitcoin and commitment to key crypto goals, the sector's financial backing could continue to grow as crypto leaders look to influence policy for the future.
