SOTM October 31 – November 6, 2024

Welcome to our 196th issue of State of the Market, where we provide an overview of crypto market activity from October 31 – November 6, 2024.

This week in crypto markets:

  • The 2024 U.S. presidential election results, with Donald Trump’s re-election, have sparked a surge in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin reaching over $75,000 and crypto equities also seeing significant gains.
  • The crypto industry is cautiously optimistic about the potential for more favorable regulation under Trump’s second term, with speculation surrounding the possible resignation of current SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and increased pro-crypto representation in Congress.
  • While the overall sentiment is positive, the re-election of crypto critic Senator Elizabeth Warren suggests that regulatory challenges may persist, and the market is expected to see increased volatility as investors react to the political shifts.
  • The success of crypto-based prediction platforms like Polymarket during the election cycle highlights their growing influence, but experts emphasize the need for comprehensive data analysis to compare their performance against traditional statistical models.
  • The post-election landscape presents both opportunities and uncertainties for the crypto industry, with stakeholders closely monitoring the unfolding of events and the new administration’s policies towards the sector.
