Abstract:Bitcoin hits new highs over $80,000 amid Trump’s support, driving cryptocurrency optimism. Musk's Dogecoin also surges. Explore the future of crypto under Trump.
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, hit a new record high, soaring past the $80,000 mark this Sunday. The cryptocurrency has been on a steady rise this year, increasing by over 80%, a gain that vastly outshines the S&P 500's 25.7% growth over the same period. The latest boost comes as Donald Trumps victory in the US presidential election drives renewed optimism in the crypto market.
Immediately after it was confirmed that Trump would win the election, Bitcoin surged sharply, with investors viewing his win as a favorable sign for the crypto industry. This rally continues, with Bitcoin nearing but slightly below $80,000 by Sunday mid-morning.
Trump‘s stance on cryptocurrency has evolved dramatically. Previously, he was skeptical, calling Bitcoin “based on thin air.” Recently, however, Trump has embraced crypto, especially since he and his family launched World Liberty Financial, their crypto venture, in September. Speaking at the launch, Trump expressed his belief in the young and fast-growing crypto industry. His administration’s support contrasts with the regulatory approach taken by the previous Biden administration, which often treated cryptocurrencies with caution and skepticism.
Under Biden, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) led by Chairman Gary Gensler pursued crypto regulation vigorously. Gensler warned of the potential for fraud and abuse in the crypto sector, working to clamp down on illegal securities and collaborating with agencies like the Department of Justice to combat crypto-related fraud. This approach, however, did not stop Gensler from eventually approving a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), allowing retirement investors some exposure to cryptocurrency.
Trump has taken his support for crypto even further, proposing a national Bitcoin reserve, similar to the US's strategic petroleum reserve. He envisions a future where the US government not only permits but actively invests in and holds cryptocurrency as a measure of national security.
Elon Musk, another influential figure and one of Trump‘s vocal supporters, has also fueled enthusiasm in the crypto market. Dogecoin, Musk’s favored digital asset, saw a surge of over 20% this Sunday, continuing its bullish trend from the previous week.
Final Thoughts
With Trump‘s backing and the possibility of more favorable policies, the crypto market might be entering a new era of growth and mainstream adoption in the US. However, this optimism must be balanced with caution as regulatory uncertainties remain. For now, Bitcoin’s historic rise reflects the growing sentiment that digital currencies could shape the future of finance.
