ChainCatcher news, November 7, Bitfinex analysts expect that after Trump's election as President of the United States, the crypto market will welcome a "new wave of hope."As the industry anticipates a less hostile attitude from federal agencies towards cryptocurrencies, this trend is expected to facilitate more capital inflow into the Web3 space. Analysts stated, "We expect that in the short term, a significant amount of capital will be released for the crypto sector. Furthermore, this may influence the approach taken by the U.S. SEC, which is widely regarded as having a hostile stance towards the crypto industry."

ChainCatcher news, according to the Associated Press, Trump has been elected as the 47th President of the United States.

She made the remarks on CNBC's Squawk Box on September 27, in response to the host stating that Gensler "loves this job" and does not want to leave it. She added, "I don't believe that will happen, especially if Trump is elected president." However, she also stated that she could not confirm if the same would be true if Vice President Kamala Harris were elected.Additionally, Lummis stated that Gensler does not "fully recognize" that Bitcoin and Ethereum are commodities. Lummis further indicated that other cryptocurrencies may be commodities, but did not specify: "We need to have a clear definition. We can use the Howey test, and as it gets updated, there may be other assets besides Bitcoin and Ethereum that qualify for the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission."It is worth noting that Gensler reiterated on September 26 during his appearance on Squawk Box that the SEC views Bitcoin as a commodity. However, during the congressional hearing on September 24, he did not comment on the status of Ethereum.
