Despite the slow progress, this is a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency industry. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been very welcoming to the cryptocurrency industry for most of this year. Recently, Trump visited a New York City bar themed around Bitcoin called PubKey, and his family's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) financial project has confirmed token sales.

VanEck analysts state that the outcome of the November US presidential election may have mixed implications for cryptocurrencies.

"We believe that Harris and Trump's optimistic views on Bitcoin each have subtler implications for the broader digital asset market," the analysts wrote earlier this week. "Regardless of a Harris or Trump administration, fiscal spending may be maintained or even accelerated, potentially leading to further algo easing, particularly amidst escalating anti-business policies."

They point out that a Harris presidency might be more favorable for Bitcoin as this would "accelerate addressing many structural issues that hinder Bitcoin adoption."

According to data from the major cryptocurrency betting platform Polymarket, Harris maintains a slight lead over Trump with a 50% probability of winning in November, slightly ahead of Trump's 49%.
