Industry insiders suggest that after Trump's return to the White House, altcoins may have greater potential for growth than Bitcoin. "Altcoins" usually refer to cryptocurrencies with a market value less than Bitcoin.
Hashdex Chief Investment Officer Samir Kerbage points out that altcoins could benefit more from a digital asset-friendly regulatory environment.
StarkWare General Counsel Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos states that while Bitcoin has always had regulatory certainty, altcoins do not yet have this. Regulatory uncertainty has hindered some institutional investors from investing in them. If the classification of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin becomes clearer, investors might feel more confident allocating funds to these cryptocurrencies, potentially driving up their prices.
