According to BitMEX Research, if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) wins the 2028 presidential election, there is speculation about the potential for Trump to lock Bitcoin using OP_CLTV (CheckLockTimeVerify) for four years during the transition period. This could introduce a novel form of 'presidential lockups' alongside traditional presidential pardons. The OP_CLTV function is crucial for traders as it allows Bitcoin transactions to be time-locked, affecting liquidity and market dynamics (source: BitMEX Research).
