Bitcoin Could Hit $90,000 If Trump Wins, Hold $50,000 Floor Under Harris: Bernstein

In the short term, Bernstein believes the election will influence crypto sentiment.

"We expect Bitcoin to break all-time highs on a Trump win, reaching close to $80,000-90,000 in the next few weeks prior to Jan. 20 inauguration day," the report notes.

On the other hand, Harris’s approach, seen as a continuation of existing Democratic policies, may test Bitcoin's resilience.

"A Harris win is also not priced in the short term, where Bitcoin could test the $50K floor before staging any recovery," Bernstein added.

However, the report states that bipartisan support and a crypto-friendly SEC would benefit all blockchain assets, emphasizing that "the utility argument for blockchain assets depends on a favorable regulatory framework for stablecoin payments, tokenization of traditional assets, and clarity on the security status of crypto assets."

These anticipated market shifts will be a focal point at Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, where experts will discuss the implications of the election on the crypto landscape and what investors should anticipate.
