The term Trump Trade was coined back in 2016 amid the simultaneous surge of Treasury Yields, US Stocks, and the US Stocks, following Trump’s victory back then. The analysts noted that a Trump victory this time could lead to a crypto market rally supported by an improved regulatory environment and rising institutional adoption.

Earlier this month in June, Donald Trump met with leaders of several Bitcoin mining firms while extending his support to the industry. He said that he would be addressing the industry’s concerns in case he becomes the US President again. Furthermore, Trump also expressed the desire for all the remaining Bitcoins to be mined in the USA.
