“The close and contested US election results and the price jump this week is not a coincidence.”
This has been a big week for Bitcoin.
As the world has been gripped by the nail-biting drama that is the US Presidential election, and the number of daily COVID cases in the United States continue to rise to new all-time highs, Bitcoin has not been the recipient of a whole lot of main-stream coverage.
Perhaps that is why Nic Carter, “anti-authoritarian technology” investor and renowned Crypto Twitter commentator, referred to BTC’s move past $15,000 this week as the “quietest bull run ever.”
Of course, it is understandable that the world has other things to do right now, but indeed, Bitcoin’s veritable explosion from $13,193 one week ago to levels approaching $16,000 at press time may be the most important piece of news that you didn’t hear much about this week.
Here’s what’s happening.
BTC May Be Benefitting from Emerging Clarity in the US Presidential Election Results
Philip Gradwell, chief economist at blockchain data analysis firm Chainalysis.
“But, it adds an anecdote to the trend in place since mid-March that bitcoin is seen as an asset to hold in a world of macroeconomic uncertainty,” he added.
And indeed, while Bitcoin did crash as a result of the COVID-related financial chaos on March 12th, BTC’s recovery seems to have positioned the asset as a resilient store-of-value capable of withstanding global financial chaos and uncertainty.
Still, BTC may be benefitting from emerging clarity in the election results. Indeed, while CNN recently reported that investors in financial markets across the board appear to be “running out of steam” as the election drama continued, it seems that markets may be seeing a boost from the emerging clarity around the election results. At press time, Joseph Biden continued to maintain a narrow lead over Donald Trump.
One week ago, the S&P 500 was sitting around 3,300 points; today, the market had risen to 3,510 points. Over the same time period, the price of gold rose from around $1,870 to $1,940. On Thursday, pre-market trading on the Dow and S&P 500 closed up with a 1.95 percent increase; the Nasdaq rose 2.59 percent.
Mark Sgamburelli, Co-founder of xBTC, told Finance Magnates that a Biden victory will “be positive for crypto” overall.
Mark Sgamburelli, co-founder of xBTC.
“Right now crypto is still very tied to traditional markets,” Sgamburelli said. “A Biden victory will likely mean more stability and clearer direction.”
Sgamburelli “also, another round of stimulus will go through quickly and likely be bigger than if Trump were president,” and we all know how much BTC loves quantitative easing.
“It Will Be in America's Best Interest to Begin Clarifying Cryptocurrency Policies in Both Legal and Financial Frameworks.
“Biden has taken a strong stance on being a leader on the world stage and especially backing down Russia and China. Russia and China are taking strong, progressive, and innovative stances on digital assets,” Sgamburelli theorized.
“It will be in America's best interest to begin clarifying cryptocurrency policies in both legal and financial frameworks. A Biden presidency along with some pro bitcoin politicians like Cynthia Lummis will hopefully push to try and get America in the lead on digital assets.”
After all, while talk of a Russian “CryptoRuble” has been in the works for several years, China is well on its way to creating its own national digital currency, a fact that seems to have spurred a movement toward the creation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) across the globe.
Of course, the creation of CBDCs may not have much to do with the welfare of Bitcoin (at least not now). While both of these types of assets are blockchain-based cryptocurrencies, some analysts have described them as polar opposites.
“The US Is Currently in a Gray Area with Regards to Digital Assets.”
Still, it can be argued that increased attention on any part of the digital assets space is better than none. After all, “the US is currently in a gray area with regards to digital assets,” Sgamburelli told Finance Magnates. Therefore, an administration that’s willing to take initiative with regards to digital asset policy could be long-term bullish for the crypto space as a whole.
“Innovation can continue to happen without further clarification, though projects may be fined down the line it is rare that they are completely shut down. In this world a gridlock would at least not send digital assets backward,” he explained.
“With the current focus on COVID and broader policies around health care and taxes, digital assets could take a back seat for the foreseeable future. However, as Bitcoin rises in value (which it looks like it will continue to do) nations that led the way like China will benefit inordinately. This will start to force policymakers' hands in America to open up to innovation and investments in digital assets.”
But of course, while the election drama may be affecting the price of Bitcoin at the moment, the BTC price is not all about who the next US president will be.
The Number of Long-term Hodlers and New BTC Users Is Increasing
In fact, Ulrik Lykke, Co-founder of crypto hedge fund ARK36, told Finance Magnates that “what is driving the price of Bitcoin up at the moment” is a combination of two important factors: first, “old accounts in the market that accumulate bitcoins at the current and lower prices,” in other words, long-term hodlers.
And indeed, in October, blockchain data firm Glassnode reported that a large part of the Bitcoin supply is stored in so-called ‘accumulation addresses’, which are digital wallets that BTC has been moved into and never out of: “Bitcoin accumulation has been on a constant upwards trend for months. 2.6M $BTC (14% of supply) are currently held in accumulation addresses. Accumulation addresses are defined as addresses that have at least 2 incoming txs and have never spent BTC.”
Ulrik Lykke explained that the second factor currently boosting the price of Bitcoin is “an influx of new accounts, both large and small, that are trying to hedge their capital.” Indeed, data from Glassnoder earlier this year also showed record amounts of increase in the number of new, unique Bitcoin wallets that were being created each day.
The number of unique entities appearing for the first time in the #Bitcoin network is surging.
“This is a natural trend but it’s especially relevant now when the value of the capital held in cash is being quickly diluted,” Lykke added.
Indeed, Chainalysis’s Philip Gradwell said that at the moment, “investors hold 77% of available bitcoin, which is bitcoin that has been mined and not lost. Since mid-March, investors tend to be Western, and purchasing bitcoin with fiat, rather than purchasing with other cryptocurrencies. At least 200k bitcoin has moved net to North America, and at least 220k bitcoin has moved net to fiat exchanges, since mid-March.”
Institutional Investors Play an Important Role in the BTC Price Boost
In addition to the increase of long-term hodlers and new BTC buyers, Lykke pointed out that “we have seen companies like Grayscale Trust, Square, and Microstrategy buy large amounts of bitcoin” over the last two months.
“For each of these entities, a large number of retail investors would need to enter the market in order to push the price upwards as much as they did.
Steve Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of crypto trading platform Voyager.
“For all intents and purposes, Bitcoin and crypto have gone mainstream. With MicroStrategies adding hundreds of millions of dollars to their balance sheet & Square adding $50 million of Bitcoin to its balance sheet, it’s no longer just retail customers and speculative investors buying up Bitcoin,” Ehrlich said. “It’s institutions and public companies migrating cash reserves into the decentralized asset.”
The Bull Rally Is “Likely to Continue,” but the Market Could Still “Unwind”
So, what’s next?
Chainalysis’s Phillip Gradwell believes that “the bull rally is likely to continue.”
“The world has a lot of macroeconomic uncertainty,” he said, “and relatively few assets that perform well in this uncertainty. Bitcoin is now viewed as one of these assets and there are relatively few Bitcoin available.”
As a result, “people who already own bitcoin are largely continuing to hold, and those who are selling are outnumbered by those who are buying.”
Still, it is not impossible that the seemingly bullet-proof rally that BTC is currently steeped in could come to an end. “Given that Western investors are driving the current market as they look for a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty, there are three ways the current market could unwind,” Gradwell said.
The first of these three possible unwindings could be a reduction in macroeconomic uncertainty: “now, that has not been the direction of 2020,” Gradwell acknowledged. “But bitcoin investors need to pay attention to how broader financial markets move in response to news, for example, a Covid vaccine.”
“The second way is that the bitcoin price goes high enough that investors decide to realise their gains,” he continued. “Investors who hold bitcoin as part of a larger portfolio, and who have mandates to deliver fiat returns, likely now hold significant amounts of bitcoin. They will have a price they will sell at.”
“This could happen if bitcoin gets included in new cryptocurrency experiments, such as Decentralised Finance (DeFi), which has proved very volatile.”
"As Demand Increases, Scarcer Supply Leads to Higher Prices."
While all three of these possible unwindings are not out of the realm of possibility, it seems that the market still has a decent amount of time before the rally could be shaken.
Indeed, in the meantime, "the high Bitcoin price is going to attract a lot of attention," Gradwell said. "The price has only closed above $14k on 34 days and above $15k on 22 days. This is likely to create a positive feedback loop for prices, where the more people who hold bitcoin as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty, the less there is available to buy."
"As demand increases, scarcer supply leads to higher prices. This makes bitcoin an increasingly attractive asset, leading to yet more demand, even scarcer supply, and higher prices."
This has been a big week for Bitcoin.
As the world has been gripped by the nail-biting drama that is the US Presidential election, and the number of daily COVID cases in the United States continue to rise to new all-time highs, Bitcoin has not been the recipient of a whole lot of main-stream coverage.

When acquisition costs rise and AI generated reviews are exactly as useful as they sound, performing and fair partners can make or break brokers.
This session looks at how these players are shaping access, trust and user engagement, and what the most effective partnership models look like in 2025.
Key Themes:
- Building trader communities through education and local expertise
