Bitcoin fell by over 2% in response to the US presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The debate highlighted Harris’s sharp exchanges with Trump, who has shown newfound support for the crypto sector. Pop icon Taylor Swift endorsed Harris shortly after the debate, and betting markets shifted in her favor. Despite Trump's previous criticism of crypto, he seeks to attract digital-asset industry support. Harris has not yet detailed her crypto policy but is expected to support industry growth and safeguards.
