The 2024 US presidential election is entering its key months leading up to Election Day on November 5. Trump is currently viewed as a more crypto-friendly candidate after repeatedly demonstrating his support for Bitcoin and the crypto industry in recent months.
Standard Chartered predicts that a Trump win could boost the Bitcoin market, creating a favorable regulatory environment for the crypto market.
Meanwhile, several prominent crypto leaders and high-profile figures have voiced their support for Trump. The Winklevoss twins recently disclosed a $2 million Bitcoin donation to Trump’s campaign.
Additionally, in a recent interview, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood expressed her intention to vote for Trump . She said he would be the best choice for the US economy.
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban is skeptical about Trump and Biden’s understanding of crypto. However, he believes Biden may lose ground due to Gary Gensler, the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s chief, who is well-known for his tough stance on the crypto industry.

Once the Federal Reserve starts the rate hike cycle, is "three consecutive hikes" a reasonable expectation?
BMO expects consecutive rate hikes in October and December, with a total of three increases potentially wiping out all rate cut gains for 2025. Vanguard believes "three consecutive hikes" is a reasonable starting point, but the actual number could be as high as six. There are historical exceptions: in 1997, the Federal Reserve raised rates only once and took no further action for the following 18 months. Meanwhile, trillion-dollar debt financing by AI giants, private credit exposure in the insurance industry, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield approaching 5% are the most dangerous pressure points in this rate hike cycle.
Goldman Sachs Also Changes Its Tune: The Fed Will Raise Interest Rates Next Week!
Goldman Sachs has shifted from predicting a rate hold to betting on a 25 basis point hike next week, stating that this change is not due to particularly bad inflation data—the August CPI was not perfect, but it wasn’t alarming either. The real key is that hawkish comments from Waller have already shaped market expectations: "If the inflation data isn’t perfect, there will be a rate hike." If the Federal Reserve backs down now, its credibility will suffer a serious blow and long-term interest rates could react sharply and immediately.
