Cryptocurrency users are fastening their seatbelts to see the results of the next US presidential election due in 2024, especially if Donald Trump emerges as the winner. According to media reports, Pundits are suggesting that a Trump win in the US presidential election might see the BTC reach $100k and that the altcoins might fuel the full-blown crypto rally.
Such speculation is backed by Trump’s persistently positive policy stances towards cryptocurrencies, which have been well-received by stakeholders in the industry. “If Trump wins,” said Erik Finman, a teen Bitcoin millionaire, in an interview with an anonymous crypto news channel, “Bitcoin could go as high as $100k during Trump’s second term.”
As the stakes go higher, Trump’s US presidential election win might mean a new era for the cryptocurrency market that could dramatically shape the future of Bitcoin and altcoins alike.
Trump and Cryptocurrencies: Policies and Perspectives
Trump’s position on cryptocurrency was negative in the past, however, the situation has radically changed. Now, the former president’s campaign has recently embraced pro-crypto sentiments in order to align himself with the emerging market. Aside from the above, he has pledged the following staking actions; The firing of the SEC Chairperson, Gary Gensler, an act that may lead to friendly regulatory policies towards cryptocurrencies.
While Trump can’t fire Gensler directly, Trump has mentioned that he could transfer Gensler to being a commissioner and select a new chairman that is more aligned with his beliefs. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas says this might accelerate the approval of several altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which would give a boost to the market.
A crypto trader, Satoshi Flipper, has indicated that the crypto market is not taking a Trump presidency seriously enough. He explained, “A Trump victory hasn’t yet been priced into the market, but if it happens, we will likely see Bitcoin hit $100K and altcoins rise further.”
Could Altcoins Outperform Bitcoin in a Bull Market?
The emphasis has mostly been on bitcoin, however, analysts stipulate that Trump’s proposed policies would have a much more profound impact on altcoins. As described by Alex Thorn, the research head at *Galaxy Digital*, there is still legal ambiguity on cryptocurrencies, especially on altcoins. If Trump has an opportunity to explain these regulations or make an amendment, this should create a situation that favors altcoins to even outcompete Bitcoin.
“Trump can trigger a large-scale bull run and, most importantly, investors will be able to see where they stand in terms of policy regulation,” Thorn said during the interview. The same is true across the crypto community, with altcoin markets seeing Trump’s possible win as a complete game-changer. Crypto assets such as XRP and Solana are already out in the front, with several ETF filings under a new administration awaiting approval.

Mr Trump most definitely supports reducing the barriers stemming from regulations – this he considers to be a major aspect towards growth. This would also help increase adoption of Bitcoin and altcoins while also spurring huge investments into decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized physical Internet networks (DePIN), two sectors that should see substantial growth under Trump.
The Broader Impact of Trump’s Economic Policies on Crypto
Not everyone believes that Trump’s actions will bring only the positive change to the cryptocurrency economy however. Donald Trump’s economic policies are a concern for Mark Cuban, a crypto-backer and businessman who knows the danger of inflation too well. Cuban also fears that Trump’s tariffs and fiscal policies may end up pushing inflation and this will negatively impact the cryptocurrencies market.
Cuban stated in an interview to crypto news channel “Possible short-term pump effects resulting from Trump’s economic policies are likely to be followed by medium-long term inflationary pressures that will push interest rates up –to constraint Bitcoin’s upward price evolving potential.”
Nonetheless, some folks in the electronic currency community believe that Trump would be highly advantageous to the market. A more open regulation of the cryptocurrency can be expected and as per the word of Trump, proposing to reduce the capital gains tax, the scale of this sector can grow exponentially.
Conclusion: How a Trump US Presidential Election Win Could Change the Crypto Market

In the light of this type of regulation should he decide to win the US presidential election, the Crypto Currency market could experience a long stretch of bullish run especially for Altcoins.
