Stocks of cryptocurrency companies listed in New York experienced a notable increase prior to market opening on Monday, driven by former President Donald Trump’s recent pro-bitcoin rhetoric.
During his speech, Trump assured a more lenient regulatory framework for the crypto industry if elected, contrasting sharply with the current administration’s stringent policies.
Analysts at Bernstein highlighted, “The crypto market views the possibility of a Trump administration as more favorable compared to the Biden administration’s regulatory stance, which has been marked by a significant crackdown.”
