Why It Matters: Speaking with Benzinga, Ben El-Baz, Managing Director of HashKey Global noted that the recent U.S. presidential debate directly impacted Bitcoin’s price, causing a sharp drop during the event.

He attributed this to market concerns about future policy uncertainties.

Emphasizing the growing importance of Web3 technologies in the political landscape, El-Baz stated, “Regardless of which candidate ultimately wins, the rise of Web3 has become an irreversible historical trend. Both the Democratic and Republican parties need to establish leadership in this technological revolution to win voter support.”

Data analytics firm CryptoQuant provided analysis suggesting a potential upcoming Bitcoin bull run and highlighted decreasing Bitcoin reserves on exchanges and rising stablecoin reserves as key factors.

“The combination of shrinking Bitcoin reserves and rising stablecoin reserves sets the stage for a bullish price breakout. With reduced Bitcoin supply and growing buying power, the market is primed for a potential upward move,” CryptoQuant stated.
