Following the first election debate, QCP Capital shared its views on how the US election could impact the cryptocurrency market. According to the firm, investors remain cautious as their attention shifts to key macroeconomic indicators and the upcoming election decision. The CEO of Chirp, a decentralized telecommunications network, echoed this sentiment, noting that while the US election “will certainly have an impact on crypto,” the effects may not be as severe as some predict.

QCP Capital: 'Neither candidate has a clear message on economic policy'

In its latest report, QCP Capital delved into the impact of the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate, noting that neither presidential candidate offered a clear economic policy, leaving many market participants unsatisfied. While public opinion appeared to favor Kamala Harris, the firm highlighted the notable absence of any discussion of cryptocurrency regulation, a topic many in the market had hoped would be addressed.

QCP analysts also flagged the possibility of increased volatility in the run-up to election day, especially with no clear front-runner. This prolonged uncertainty, combined with unclear policy directions, could contribute to a “risk-off” approach among investors, affecting many risk assets, including cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (BTC). The firm believes traders may proceed with caution, anticipating further market volatility, especially in the crypto space.

The US election may not be as important as expected, according to Chirp CEO

Chirp founder and CEO Tim Kravchunovsky also chimed in, agreeing that the 2024 US election will have an impact on the crypto world. However, he suggested that the overall impact could be relatively small. “Yesterday’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was disappointing for crypto, but not a surprise,” Kravchunovsky commented in a note to Bitcoin.com News. “It’s simply evidence that crypto isn’t as important to any presidential candidate as it is to us in the Web3 world.”

Kravchunovsky noted that over the past few months, the entire crypto space has come to a standstill, holding its breath and anxiously awaiting the results of the US election. While it is likely that crypto will receive more attention during the next presidential debate, the Chirp CEO urged the industry not to rely solely on politics. Instead, as Election Day approaches, Kravchunovsky stressed that the focus should be on what the industry does best.

“The outcome of the US election will certainly impact crypto, but perhaps not as profoundly as many people think,” Kravchunovsky continued. “Crypto is not as popular as many hoped, so we in the Web3 ecosystem must be at the forefront of innovation. Let’s stop waiting for the Fed, the election, and other macro events to dictate our timeline.”

Chirp's CEO added:

We need to take control of our own narrative and show politicians that crypto innovation is not going away. If we don't stand still, we will also prove that we are a force to be reckoned with.
