Bitcoin Expected to Surge Post-U.S. Election Amid National Debt Concerns, Says CIO

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I must say that CK Zheng’s prediction piques my interest. Given my observations over the years, I have seen how political uncertainties and economic instability can often drive investors towards alternative assets like Bitcoin. The potential for the U.S. debt and deficit issues to remain unaddressed, regardless of the election outcome, seems plausible based on recent trends.


It’s predicted by CK Zheng, the Chief Investment Officer at ZX Squared Capital, that Bitcoin might experience a significant price increase in the months following the U.S. presidential election.

According to an article by Brayden Lindera for Cointelegraph, Zheng opines that neither presidential candidate has adequately addressed the escalating U.S. debt and deficit. This could positively impact Bitcoin’s price movement in the future, as the expert suggests similar trends from past elections may recur this year, potentially pushing Bitcoin to unprecedented highs before 2025. Additionally, Zheng believes that the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate reduction could bolster Bitcoin further. If the U.S. economy manages a soft landing, Bitcoin could continue to climb as more liquidity pours into the market.

According to Cointelegraph’s report and data from CoinGlass, it’s worth noting that Bitcoin has experienced an increase of over 50% during the last three months of a year on six separate occasions in previous years. Moreover, following the halving event in April, which historically has been a catalyst for growth, Bitcoin saw a considerable rise. For instance, after the halving event in 2020, Bitcoin skyrocketed by approximately 168% in the subsequent months. This trend suggests that the fourth quarter might be a strong period for Bitcoin following the April 2024 halving event.

The report further mentioned that Samantha Yap, CEO of YAP, highlighted that Bitcoin’s popularity isn’t solely due to price hikes. She underscored that when Bitcoin gains momentum, there’s usually a spike in consumer curiosity, leading to extensive media coverage. This pattern offers a chance for the broader cryptocurrency sector to create user-friendly products for new investors entering the market.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $63,724, down 2.9% in the last 24 hours.
