Trump aims to make US world capital for crypto, Bitcoin above $60K April 19

President Trump announced plans to make the U.S. the world capital for crypto and signaled pro-crypto actions (dropping SEC suits, proposing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve). Prediction markets have effectively priced this in: the contract for Bitcoin above $60,000 on April 19 sits at 99.9% YES, with several nearby April contracts at 99.9–100%. Combined 24‑hour prediction‑market volume is modest (about $24.5k face value, $19.59k in USDC), meaning little capital could move odds despite the near-certain pricing. The piece flags that regulatory shifts (comments from Jerome Powell or Gary Gensler) or geopolitical events could still move prices, particularly in later April sub‑markets that show marginally more room for movement.
