  • Crypto and Bitcoin mining stocks recovered after initial losses post-US presidential debate.
  • Share prices for companies like Coinbase and MicroStrategy dipped but ended the day only slightly down.
  • Debate performance by Kamala Harris influenced market reactions, with stocks and Bitcoin prices fluctuating.

Following the recent United States presidential debate, cryptocurrency and Bitcoin mining stocks experienced a notable recovery after initially plummeting. On September 11, stocks linked to cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin mining witnessed a sharp decline. The downturn was a response to the presidential debate where, according to opinion polls, Kamala Harris appeared to have the upper hand over the pro-crypto Donald Trump. Public opinion seemed to sway temporarily against Trump, whose policies have been favorable towards the cryptocurrency sector.

Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, saw its shares drop to a low of $150 on the day of the debate. However, by the end of after-hours trading, the shares had bounced back to approximately $157, almost returning to their pre-debate levels. Similarly, MicroStrategy, known for its significant Bitcoin holdings, also dipped before closing at $129.30, only slightly lower than its opening price.

Recovery Amidst Political Uncertainties

Despite the initial shock, the crypto-related stocks managed to regain their footing by the close of trading. For instance, Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms, both prominent Bitcoin mining firms, recouped most of their earlier losses, ending the day down by less than 3%. Interestingly, Hut 8 Mining Corp was able to turn its day around completely, closing up 1.29%.

The market’s initial reaction was influenced heavily by a YouGov survey and a CNN flash poll, both suggesting Harris had outperformed Trump in the debate. This created a brief period of uncertainty given Harris’s less clear stance on cryptocurrency compared to Trump’s supportive position.

Broader Impact on Crypto Markets

The cryptocurrency markets mirrored the volatility observed in the stock market, with Bitcoin’s price taking a significant hit initially but recovering the following day. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies also saw a temporary decline, shedding about $60 billion on September 11, only to regain 2.3% shortly thereafter, stabilizing back to levels seen before the debate.
