Impact of both candidates on Bitcoin
Some speculations are also hovering around that if the win is on the side of Donald Trump then the price of Bitcoin can skyrocket and surpass $90,000 before the end of this year. This upward trajectory will also beat the level of the all-time high previously recorded in March 2024.
The reason for this is that Trump is a crypto-friendly leader and he has made many statements in the favour of the industry. Also, his actions have always shown an inclination towards the same.
