Wall Street analysts believe it’s only a matter of time before more spot ETFs get the green light. Applications for spot ETFs for XRP and Litecoin (LTC) are already pending approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

According to the report, 40% of voters would switch party support for a candidate who backs crypto, while 27% would not. Nearly half (49%) of voters consider a candidate’s crypto stance as an important factor in earning their vote.

Why Trump’s Crypto Strategy Could Be a Winner

Republican candidate Donald Trump has been engaging the crypto community by accepting donations in digital assets and launching a Web3 initiative. This strategy appears to be working, with Trump’s chances of winning the November 5th election now at 61.3%, according to data from Polymarket, a decentralized prediction market.

Crypto Markets Are Headed Up

Despite the election’s potential impact, experts like Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and veteran trader Peter Brandt expect Bitcoin’s growth as an asset to continue no matter who is in the White House.

Furthermore, Bitcoin and other digital currencies are seen as a hedge against long-term inflation, drawing more investors seeking to protect their finances.
