Macro factors in Canada and US good for Bitcoin’s price — WonderFi CEO

As a seasoned investor with over two decades of experience in the stock market and a keen interest in digital assets, I find Skurka’s analysis both insightful and convincing. The recent Bitcoin surge to over 100,000 Canadian dollars is undeniably impressive, and his predictions for the next six to twenty-four months are intriguing.


Bitcoin (BTC) has soared to a new peak of more than 100,000 Canadian dollars recently. Dean Skurka, head honcho at WonderFi – a firm specializing in digital financial services – foresees that lower interest rates in Canada and the U.S., coupled with the approaching 2024 US Presidential election, could propel Bitcoin’s price even higher within the next 6-24 months.

During a conversation with CryptoMoon, Skurka shared that the Bank of Canada lowering interest rates by 0.5% and the US Federal Reserve’s continuing reduction program (started in September 2024) could motivate both individual and institutional investors to invest or increase their current investments in the market.

Skurka told CryptoMoon that these rate cuts were not unique and reflected a growing, global shift in monetary policy:

“As the rest of the world continues to enter into lower interest rate environments as well, that is going to create a really compelling opportunity for the digital asset ecosystem to expand and recapture that retail excitement.”

The head of WonderFi explained that the “indication of potential reductions and the belief that rates might not rise,” was sufficient to spark optimism among investors in the immediate future, prior to capital influx from lower rates entering the markets – a process that usually transpires within 6-18 months following the announcement of these cuts.

2024 US Presidential election

Skurka additionally emphasized the approaching 2024 United States Presidential election as a significant factor influencing Bitcoin’s value. The CEO indicated that the cryptocurrency sector generally anticipates a Trump presidency to be more favorable for crypto, while a potential Harris victory might lead to a temporary price fluctuation.

Nevertheless, the CEO contends that the future value of Bitcoin is likely to rise, irrespective of the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election. He predicts that the U.S. regulatory environment may change post-November elections, influenced by political pressure from industry lobbying groups.

“The net result of all these lobbying efforts should be a more positive and friendly environment on the other side of the election, regardless of who wins.”

Based on the statement from the CEO of WonderFi, these factors combined with substantial inflows into Bitcoin ETFs (indicating robust and persistent institutional investment) set up a highly favorable environment for Bitcoin over the coming years.
