Standard Chartered Forecasts Bitcoin Surge with Potential Trump Presidency
A second Trump term could reshape U.S. crypto regulations and spur significant growth in Bitcoin valuations, according to financial analysts.
- Standard Chartered predicts a more favorable regulatory climate for cryptocurrencies if Trump returns to office, potentially driving Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by year-end.
- Trump's administration may encourage the de-dollarization trend, enhancing the appeal of Bitcoin as an alternative asset.
- Analysts highlight a possible increase in U.S. term premiums and a steeper yield curve under Trump, positively correlating with Bitcoin prices.
- The investment bank notes a historical trend of decreased foreign buying of U.S. treasuries during Trump's first term, which could recur and boost digital assets.
- Upcoming U.S. elections underscore the significant impact political leadership can have on cryptocurrency markets and regulatory landscapes.
