According to Standard Chartered's latest report, Bitcoin ($BTC ) could surge to $125,000 by the end of the year if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election, or reach $75,000 if Kamala Harris triumphs. While the outcome of the election is significant for digital assets, the bank believes Bitcoin will see new all-time highs either way, with Trump's presidency being more favorable for faster regulatory easing. However, under a Harris administration, regulatory progress, particularly around relaxing banking rules for digital assets, would continue but at a slower pace. Positive factors like a re-steepening U.S. Treasury curve are expected to support Bitcoin regardless of the election outcome.

With just eight weeks remaining until Election Day, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have officially taken the stage for their first—and possibly only—presidential debate tonight. This highly anticipated event marks their first public encounter on stage following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race in July, a decision many believe stemmed from his previous debate performance against Trump.
Harris opened up about giving a $50,000 tax deduction to start up small businesses and said, “I was raised as a middle class kid, and I am actually the only person on this stage who has a plan that is about lifting up the middle class and working people of America.”
While Trump stressed that his economy was great, Harris immediately said, ‘Donald Trump has no plan for you and he left the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war.’
Trump launched fresh new attacks on Harris during the presidential debate, claiming she has adopted his own political philosophy. “I was going to send her a MAGA hat,” Trump remarked, adding, “It will be the end of our country. She’s a Marxist, everybody knows she’s a Marxist. Her father is a Marxist professor. He taught her well.” 
Presidential Debate Live Updates: Abortion Rights Takes Center Stage
Harris promises to bring back national abortion rights. She said, “One does not have to abandon their faith, or deeply held beliefs, to agree with the government and Trump certainly should not be telling a woman what to do with her body.”

Good Thursday! Here’s a rundown of today’s key developments:
U.S. Presidential Debate Influences Crypto Market
The recent U.S. presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris triggered a "sell-the-news" reaction in the crypto market.

Caroline Ellison Seeks Leniency in Sentencing
