Bitcoin Hits Record High as Trump Victory Sparks Optimism for Crypto-Friendly Policies
Bitcoin Surges Beyond $81,000 Amid Market Optimism
On Sunday evening, Bitcoin reached an unprecedented high of $81,373.5, marking a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency market. This latest surge comes as a reaction to Donald Trump’s recent presidential election victory, which has raised hopes for crypto-favorable regulations in the United States. By 18:16 ET (23:15 GMT), Bitcoin settled around $80,362.9 after a near 6% spike, bolstering its bullish momentum.
Trump’s Win Boosts Market Sentiment
Trump’s campaign promise to establish the U.S. as a global “crypto capital” has fueled strong investor optimism. His election has intensified interest in the cryptocurrency sector, contributing to a robust 10% increase in Bitcoin’s price over the past week. Year-to-date, Bitcoin is up an astounding 91%, a rally that reflects growing institutional interest and public support for cryptocurrency.
Ethereum Also on the Rise
Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, joined the upward trend, rising 1.8% to $3,190.0—its highest level in three months. The combined performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum signals a positive outlook for broader cryptocurrency markets, buoyed by regulatory anticipation and increased mainstream adoption.
