Crypto awaits tonight’s Biden vs. Trump TV debate — where to watch

Joe Biden and Donald Trump will debate tonight in Atlanta for a 90-minute national television broadcast. CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will moderate the debate, which begins at 9 pm ET. There will be no live audience.

Between two scheduled commercial breaks, both men are expected to answer questions about a wide range of topics, perhaps including their stances on crypto.

Three topics are particularly salient for the first presidential debate of the 2024 election season. First, voters are interested in their views on a central bank digital currency (CBDC), which would affect the economy, the dollar itself, the Federal Reserve, and Treasury agencies like the US Mint, the IRS, or The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Second, voters want to hear about crypto regulation, including laws regarding criminal enforcement, SEC oversight, self-cUStody, mining, and coin privacy services.

Lastly, voters are curious about their stance on crypto businesses, including job creation and miners’ electrical and environmental impacts.

Both Trump and Biden have made efforts in recent weeks to appeal to crypto voters. Biden announced new stances on crypto legislative issues like FIT21 and SEC SAB-121, and his staff launched an outreach campaign with a variety of crypto companies. Trump has reversed years of anti-crypto rhetoric, suddenly claiming to be pro-bitcoin mining, pro-crypto, pro-self-cUStody, and anti-CBDC.

How to watch tonight’s Biden vs. Trump debate

In addition to appearing nationally on CNN, the debate will syndicate across apps like CNN Go and other aggregators like Roku or Google TV that support the channel. Finally, anyone can watch the debate for free with ads without a login at CNN.com. The debate will begin at 9 pm EDT (00:01:00 UTC).

Due to time constraints — Biden and Trump will only get 90 minutes to cover all topics of interest to US voters — members of the crypto community will be watching intently for even the briefest of statements.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
