In Brief
10x Research reported that with Joe Biden stepping down from the US presidential race a crypto-friendly administration might take office.
Organization focusing on digital asset research for wealth managers and cryptocurrency service providers, 10x Research shared in its latest research reporting that with Joe Biden stepping down from the United States presidential race, there appears to be no prominent contender to oppose Donald Trump. This situation suggests that a cryptocurrency-friendly administration might take office, which could positively impact Bitcoin and other digital assets.
The company observed that historically when a new administration takes office, the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) typically steps down. Despite the current SEC Chairman, Gary Gensler, having a term that extends until June 5th, 2026, he is expected to resign in January or February 2025, according to the firm’s projections.
