China's influence

Despite global tensions, China remains a key player in the financial market. Growing trade ties between China, Asia and the Middle East open new opportunities for banks and influence the Bitcoin price positively. Ole Matthiessen of Deutsche Bank emphasises the increasing activity of Chinese clients in the Middle East.

Risks of the US election

The US presidential election on 5 November brings uncertainty for investors. A close result could lead to legal disputes. Bruno Sousa of Hashdex explains that a win for Donald Trump could give the crypto market more of a boost than a win for Kamala Harris. In addition, new exchange-traded Bitcoin funds make access easier for investors.

Conclusion

Investors should watch China's influence and the US election closely, as both are decisive for the future development of the Bitcoin price.
