JUST IN: U.S. elections - The Democratic Party releases its platform, with no mention of Bitcoin or crypto
The Democratic Party's official 2024 platform was released yesterday (Monday) on day one of the Democratic National Convention, without any mention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. This decision aligns with the past four years of the Biden-Harris administration's hostility towards the industry. Despite the growing significance of Bitcoin and digital assets, neither Kamala Harris or Tim Walz, who are running for president and vice president in the upcoming election this November, has prioritized the inclusion of Bitcoin and crypto in the party's agenda.

Recent data from Bitcoin Magazine Pro shows a significant trend among Bitcoin holders: nearly 75% of all circulating Bitcoin has remained dormant for over six months.

Bitcoin $BTC reaction following the news that Biden is leaving the race was heavily scrutinized by market participants for 2 reasons
1/ It is the only risk assets traded 24/7 and thus reacting to news over the week-end; 2/ Bitcoin is now seen as a "pro-Trump" asset (i.e of it goes down that means that markets see a lower chance for Trump to be re-elected). While the initial reaction to the news was BTC going down almost $1,000 in a matter of minutes, BTC bounced back later on to trade at the highest level of the week-end (around $68k). So if Bitcoin is any guide, the Trump election trade does not seem to have been damaged... Source chart: coingecko
