Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Donald Trump's announcements on cryptocurrency markets, focusing on his 2024 re-election and the creation of a crypto platform. Using a high-frequency event study, it analyzes the immediate and short-term reactions of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, and Tether. The findings reveal that concrete announcements, such as the crypto platform launch and election victory, trigger significant but short-lived responses in Bitcoin and Ethereum, reflecting their speculative nature and the importance for investors to know The stances of public figure . In contrast, campaign-related promises create a climate of uncertainty, resulting in only brief delayed or anticipated effects. Monero experiences negative effects due to capital shifts towards dominant cryptocurrencies, while Tether remains unaffected, demonstrating its stability. These results underscore the importance of actionable commitments in driving cryptocurrency volatility and provide insights for investors and policymakers.
