WonderFi CEO: Macroeconomic Factors in Canada and the US Favor Bitcoin Prices
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Dean Skurka, President and CEO of digital financial services company WonderFi, believes that the interest rate cuts in Canada and the United States, along with the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election, will continue to drive Bitcoin prices higher in the next 6-24 months.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Skurka explained that the recent decision by the Bank of Canada to lower interest rates by 50 basis points, along with the Federal Reserve's ongoing rate cut plan starting in September 2024, will encourage retail and institutional investors to enter the market or increase their existing positions.
Skurka also emphasized that the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election is a major catalyst for Bitcoin prices, as the cryptocurrency industry believes that a Trump presidency would be beneficial for cryptocurrencies, while a Harris victory could cause a price shock in the short term.
