Bitcoin (BTC) $107,008 recently surpassed $109,000, setting a new record. The rise in the largest cryptocurrency‘s price occurred just before Republican Donald Trump took office as President of the United States. Trump’s positive stance on cryptocurrencies and his campaign promises have created significant optimism in the markets.
Bitcoin Continues to Break Records
After hitting around $102,000 on Sunday, Bitcoin experienced a drop to $100,000. However, a recent wave of buying quickly pushed the price up to $109,333, marking a new all-time high for Bitcoin.
The recent decline in the largest cryptocurrency is thought to be influenced by the launch of a meme coin by Melania Trump on Sunday. This new meme coin reportedly caused some investors to pull back from Bitcoin. Nevertheless, BTC’s leadership has been reestablished due to the returning demand for purchases.
The Trump Effect and Market Expectations
During the presidential race, Donald Trump stood out for his support of cryptocurrencies. He promised to make “the U.S. the crypto capital of the world” and indicated plans to create a “strategic national Bitcoin reserve.” All these statements contributed to a positive atmosphere in the cryptocurrency market.
Experts believe that Trump’s vision will further strengthen the sector. Analysts highlight that Bitcoin could maintain these levels for an extended period. It is evident that Trump’s policies and the market’s reaction will shape Bitcoin’s future movements.
Bitcoin’s ongoing record-breaking trajectory attracts both institutional and individual investor interest. The market is currently focused on the opportunities that the Trump era may bring to cryptocurrencies.
As of the latest data, BTC is trading at $108,667, slightly down from its peak.
