Standard Chartered analyst: If the Republican Party controls the U.S. Congress, the cryptocurrency market value is expected to triple
ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, based on the prediction of Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick, if the Republican Party successfully controls both houses of the U.S. Congress, the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies could reach $10 trillion by the end of 2026, a 300% increase from the current $2.7 trillion.Kendrick believes that a Republican-led government may bring friendly policies, such as easing regulations on stablecoins and adopting a more lenient stance at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which would be significant positives for Bitcoin reserves and more. Additionally, areas such as crypto gaming, tokenization, and decentralized IoT are expected to benefit from a more favorable policy environment.
