With more than 70 million Americans having already voted early in recent days, the rest of the population is being asked to vote today in favor of Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for president of the country.
The polls, which have shown their ineffectiveness in the past anyway, are still very undecided and cannot reach a unanimous decision on the winner of this election, so the suspense remains. However, the AtlasIntel poll, which was the closest to reality during Biden's election, now gives Trump as the favorite, and we also see a stronger mobilization in general for the Republican camp during the early vote. Harris can nevertheless still make up for her delay at the polls on D-Day.
What impact will this election have on our ecosystem?
Tomorrow we will have the beginning of an answer on the continuation of American policy towards cryptos.
On one side, Donald Trump, who turned his jacket and became pro-crypto in a few months, surrounding himself in his government with influential figures like Elon Musk and Robert Kennedy Jr. With the idea of potentially using Bitcoin as a reserve value, of promoting mining, and of making the United States the land of cryptocurrency.
Then on the other side, Kamala Harris, vice president of the most crypto-skeptical mandate in the history of the sector, who seems to have wanted to ride the wave at one point in the campaign by accepting Bitcoin donations, but who continues to want to impose ever more taxes on miners and capital gains while further regulating the sector to encourage "innovative technologies". A line that therefore remains essentially the same as that adopted by Joe Biden.
The market will therefore probably see more positive signals in the short term with the election of Donald Trump, than with that of Kamala Harris, which on the contrary could slow down the upward recovery of this end of the year. A rise therefore probably more significant with Trump, but probably a rise nonetheless with Harris.
Because if we look at the long term, Biden's election did not prevent cryptos from rising a few months after his election, despite the difficult economic and geopolitical contexts. So in the end, cryptos always manage to detach themselves from politics because it is an innovation that remains decentralized and constantly expanding.
One thing is for sure, there will be volatility in the coming hours!
So who do you think will be the big winner of this election and what impact will it have on the market? Answer tomorrow, if the votes are not too close!
