Bitcoin in bullish setup ahead of election: VanEck

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade of experience navigating the volatile world of digital assets, I find myself increasingly bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) as we approach the US presidential election in November. My personal investment strategy has always been to stay informed and adaptable, and this time is no different.


As a crypto investor, I find myself feeling quite optimistic about Bitcoin (BTC) right now. According to Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, the current performance of BTC is setting up a “very bullish scenario” for this digital asset. This bullish sentiment seems to be in response to investors preparing for the upcoming United States presidential election in November.

According to Sigel, it seems highly likely that the conditions are favorable for a significant increase in Bitcoin’s value as we approach the election.

“We saw the same pattern in 2020: Bitcoin was quiet before rallying with high volatility once a winner was announced.”

On October 28th, the value of a single Bitcoin reached over $69,000, suggesting it might be heading towards record highs as we approach the elections.

As a crypto investor, I’ve been thrilled to see that Bitcoin has surged an impressive 100% over the past year. Interestingly, this latest climb from $57,000 to nearly $70,000 appears to be associated with an improvement in Donald Trump’s odds on betting sites.

According to betting platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, it’s likely that Donald Trump will be the next U.S. President, with estimated chances of about 62% on one platform and 66% on the other, as of October 28th.

In the upcoming November election, Republican candidate Donald Trump, known for advocating that America should become a global leader in cryptocurrency, faces off against Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, who has not made as many vocal statements regarding the crypto industry compared to Trump.

According to Sigel, Trump is considered the more cryptocurrency-friendly candidate, whereas Vice President Harris has not demonstrated significant enthusiasm for it.

As a researcher, I find it intriguing that according to renowned hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones, stated in an interview with CNBC on October 22nd, regardless of who emerges victorious, rising inflation is likely to bolster the value of Bitcoin (BTC) and other commodities. In his perspective, “all roads lead to inflation.

As an analyst, I find myself leaning towards a diverse portfolio that includes gold, Bitcoin, commodities, and Nasdaq technology stocks. In my current setup, I hold no fixed income assets whatsoever. This was expressed during my recent interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box.

According to a report published on July 24th, VanEck predicts that Bitcoin‘s value could reach an astounding $2.9 million per coin by the year 2050. This estimation is based on the growing demand for Bitcoin as a medium for trade settlement and a potential reserve currency for central banks.

According to Sigel, there’s a prediction we hold for the long run. This forecast suggests that Bitcoin might be adopted as a form of reserve currency by central banks by the year 2050, and could potentially be utilized in international trade.

“If Bitcoin reached a modest 2% weight in global central bank reserves, our model projects a price of around $3 million per Bitcoin.”
