    FBS, a leading global broker, presents an overview of financial market trends in the context of the 2024 US presidential elections. FBS financial market analysts particularly underscore the rising investment potential of Bitcoin in the context of Harris-Trump uncertainty .

    FBS analysts highlight that financial markets are experiencing turbulent times and investors are looking for safe-haven assets like gold and government bonds. According to the FBS experts, cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, become more appealing. FBS financial market analysts have explored Bitcoin’s historical performance during past US elections and speculated on its potential role in 2024.

    In previous election cycles, Bitcoin’s price reactions to political events have varied:

    • In 2012, during Barack Obama’s re-election, Bitcoin had little market impact due to its developing status.
    • By 2016, following Donald Trump’s victory, Bitcoin gained institutional recognition, with its price rising as a hedge against economic uncertainty.
    • In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Bitcoin surged after Joe Biden’s election, driven by inflation fears and institutional adoption.

    For the 2024 election, Bitcoin’s potential as a safe haven is under debate. While its correlation with traditional risk assets has weakened, its volatility remains high. With market capitalization reaching $600 billion in 2024 and daily trading volumes up 25% year-on-year, institutional investors increasingly view Bitcoin as a hedge against geopolitical risks and inflation.

    FBS analysts warn that the 2024 US presidential election could significantly influence Bitcoin’s future:

    • A victory for Kamala Harris may bring balanced regulation that fosters innovation but could also raise compliance costs for US-based exchanges.
    • Donald Trump’s platform includes encouraging Bitcoin mining and lowering capital gains taxes, which could increase demand for cryptocurrencies.

    Regardless of the 2024 US presidential election outcome, FBS analysts recommend a cautious yet strategic approach to trading. Monitoring political developments closely is critical, as shifts in policies or candidate standings can create significant price swings. Traders are encouraged to consider short-term opportunities in cryptocurrency markets, particularly Bitcoin, which has shown resilience and growth potential during past election cycles. Employing risk management tools, such as stop-loss orders, is also vital to mitigating downside risk during this unpredictable period.

    FBS analysts believe Bitcoin’s long-term position in the financial markets is solidified. Growing institutional interest points to its potential as a legitimate hedge against macroeconomic risks.

    2024-09-19T18:01:00Z

    The round was led by Moneta Ventures, and includes participation from Clutch VC, Next Coast Ventures, and NextGen Venture Partners

    WASHINGTON and AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Statt Inc., an innovative big data and artificial intelligence company for the public policy, regulatory, and strategic communications sectors, today announced it secured $2.8 million in seed funding. The round is led by Moneta Ventures, and includes participation from Clutch VC, Next Coast Ventures and NextGen Venture Partners.

    Statt’s latest funding follows a $1.6 million pre-seed round led by NextGen in Nov. 2020, and will enable Statt to expand its sales, marketing, engineering, and machine learning teams to accelerate the development and deployment of its SaaS platform.

    Statt leverages cutting-edge AI, along with its proprietary global data stream of hundreds of millions of public policy documents to deliver real-time insights, streamline research processes and risk assessment, and enhance decision-making capabilities for large companies, professional services firms, government agencies, and smaller policy organizations seeking to navigate complex regulatory and legislative environments.

    Statt is led by its two co-founders, Steve Glickman, CEO, and Andrew Platt, Head of Product, who share deep policy backgrounds. Steve previously served as Co-Founder and CEO of the Economic Innovation Group, senior economic advisor for the White House National Security Council, and a committee staffer on Capitol Hill. Andrew was previously elected to the Maryland General Assembly, served as a congressional leadership staffer, and as an executive at an education and fintech company.

    “We are thrilled to partner with several best-in-class investors as we continue our journey to revolutionize the application of AI to complex flows of information across the public policy and regulatory affairs spaces,” said Steve Glickman, Co-Founder and CEO of Statt. “With this new funding, we will scale our team, grow our first-to-market data stream, and expand our analytics solutions to empower our customers to proactively navigate and shape the policy landscape.”

    Statt already counts several influential corporations and professional services firms among its customers and partners, including Microsoft, Visa, FTI Consulting, and Avoq. Notably, Statt was accepted into the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program, as well as the Google for Startups Program and the NVIDIA Inception Program, which have collectively awarded the company $700,000 in cloud computing credits.

    “Statt’s platform has been instrumental in helping us anticipate regulatory changes and understand their potential impacts across different markets,” said Brent McGoldrick, Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting. “Working with their AI platform gives our experts great access to a wide range of range of capabilities and insights.”

    The investments from leading VC firms like Moneta, Clutch, Next Coast, and NextGen underscores the growing excitement behind cutting-edge AI companies with products tailored to large sectors previously underserved by technology solutions.

    “Statt is uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI and public policy, two areas undergoing rapid change,” said Aasim Hasan, Managing Partner at Moneta Ventures. “Their leadership team and technologists are truly industry experts, and we are excited to support Statt as it brings innovative technology to a space that is ripe for disruption and offers tremendous potential for growth and impact.”
