- Ethereum is outperforming Bitcoin following Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential victory, with Ether (ETH) gaining momentum.
- Trump’s administration is expected to support blockchain-friendly policies, particularly those encouraging DeFi innovation.
Were decentralized finance (DeFi) assets like Ethereum underestimated leading up to the election?
Ethereum is now outpacing Bitcoin following Donald Trump’s 2024 U.S. presidential win, with Ether (ETH) gaining 4% in the past 24 hours (and 14.1% in the past 5 days). Bitcoin on the other hand is down 0.4% in the past 24 hours)
Analysts suggest that the Republican administration’s expected support for DeFi will play a pivotal role in Ethereum’s growth.
Trump has signaled interest in policies that could nurture blockchain technology, encouraging legislative reform to promote DeFi innovation in the U.S.
Bitcoin may hold its status as a store of wealth (and even a potential alternative reserve for the US treasury), but Ethereum’s recent performance suggests it’s increasingly well-positioned to benefit from the changing policy environment.
