Bitcoin has surged past $76,000, hitting a new all-time high following Vice President Kamala Harris’s concession of the presidential race to Donald Trump. This price jump comes as market sentiment grows increasingly optimistic about the future of cryptocurrencies under a potential Trump administration, with some analysts forecasting that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 before Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
The rally began shortly after the concession, with Bitcoin climbing rapidly from $75,000 and continuing to surge as the news broke. Investors appear to be banking on Trump’s promises to introduce crypto-friendly policies, which is driving the bullish trend in Bitcoin prices.
Reports suggest that the market anticipates Harris, in her current role, will certify the election results, clearing the path for Trump’s return to the White House. Additionally, the U.S. government is holding $15.83 billion worth of Bitcoin from past seizures, and Trump has indicated the possibility of creating a national Bitcoin reserve from these assets. This has fueled further excitement among investors.
In line with this, Senator Cynthia Lummis, a staunch crypto advocate, has introduced a proposal to have the U.S. government purchase 200,000 Bitcoin over the next five years, further bolstering market confidence.
The rally is also supported by expectations that the Federal Reserve will implement a 25-basis-point rate cut, a move that could further enhance Bitcoin’s appeal as an alternative asset. Analysts note that Bitcoin has demonstrated impressive gains since the election, which has only strengthened the belief that its price could continue to rise.
With Trump’s pro-crypto campaign and the potential for regulatory changes in his administration, many experts predict that Bitcoin could see a sharp increase in value, potentially hitting the $100,000 mark before Trump’s inauguration.
