According to BlockBeats, on September 23, Bitcoin rose by about 10% in the past week, while Ethereum performed relatively strongly, rising by 17%.

Bernstein said in a report that this was the first time Harris made an explicit statement on cryptocurrency, mentioning the term "digital assets."

This is in stark contrast to Trump’s public stance of “America as the capital of crypto,” with Trump making specific policy commitments, including a friendly SEC chairman, a national Bitcoin reserve, support for U.S. mining, stablecoin regulation, and more.

The crypto community felt some relief that both candidates expressed their support. However, the current administration’s “turbulent” history in the space has left the crypto community seeking more policy clarity and follow-up from Harris.

The report added that if Trump wins, crypto market sentiment will be stronger, which may provide broader regulatory support for DeFi, asset tokenization, and NFTs beyond Bitcoin.
