Harris's support for digital asset regulation is seen as a positive shift, especially for groups like African Americans, where over 20% have invested in cryptocurrency. Her proposal would ensure protections for these investors. This commitment from Harris contrasts with the Biden administration’s stricter stance on digital assets, marking a key moment in the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The market also reacted to former President Trump’s courting of cryptocurrency voters, adding further momentum to the cryptocurrency rally. With election-related predictions fluctuating, analysts believe the political backdrop is a significant driver of the crypto surge.
In addition to political developments, the delay in Mt. Gox’s creditor repayment deadline to October 31, 2025 eased concerns about a potential selloff of bitcoins, further stabilizing the market.
On the stock side, crypto-related equities saw notable gains, with CleanSpark surging over 12%, MARA Holdings rising 5.6%, and Coinbase increasing by 11%. The double-leveraged Bitcoin ETF also saw a significant jump of around 9%.
Historically, October has been a strong month for Bitcoin, with an average increase of 20% over the last decade, and market insiders believe the current momentum could extend through the second half of the month.
