📍|Continuing from the previous text, let's discuss why the US elections are particularly important for the cryptocurrency market
————————————————
Beyond institutionalization, what truly matters for cryptocurrencies is that new capital can enter the field without being demonized. Requirements for qualified custodians regarding relationships with banks, operational bottlenecks, and regulations surrounding cryptocurrency trading.
This poses a significant barrier for many existing financial elites, and unless major changes occur, this situation will persist. No matter how much I emphasize the importance of this aspect, it cannot be overstated... Currently, even for regulated funds, opening a bank account is a daunting task, let alone being able to trade derivatives or new assets.
What is concerning is that if we do not achieve substantial changes in cryptocurrency regulation, new capital will become scarce. Finally, the stance of cryptocurrencies towards elections. This point is less objective and may be more emotional, but considering how many cryptocurrency proponents have worked hard to support Trump, it is difficult for Democrats to embrace cryptocurrencies with open arms. I cannot imagine how easily this situation would be reversed if Kamala Harris won the election.
🔻 There are many other minor considerations, but the idea is clear — the elections will have a substantial impact on the pace of global cryptocurrency development, especially within the United States, and will certainly pose significant obstacles for non-Bitcoin assets in Harris's world.
