Bitcoin at Record Highs: Aiming for $100,000 Value in a Shifting US Political Landscape
Bitcoin’s Surge to Record Highs
Bitcoin touched a fresh record high on Friday, now eyeing the $100,000 barrier in a remarkable rally fueled by expectations of a regulatory shift favorable to cryptocurrencies under the new Donald Trump administration. This surge is even more impressive considering Bitcoin has more than doubled in value throughout this year.
Political Climate and Market Predictions
Following Trump’s election victory, Bitcoin's value increased by approximately 45 percent, along with the election of several pro-crypto lawmakers to Congress. Currently, Bitcoin is up just over 1 percent on the day, priced at $99,380.
- Trump trades: Bitcoin stands out among assets viewed as beneficiaries of Trump's policies.
- Bitcoin is nearing mainstream acceptance, marking 16 years since its inception.
- Recent approval of US-listed Bitcoin exchange-traded funds has invigorated the market.
Future Prospects
As Shane Oliver, chief economist at AMP Sydney, notes, “The longer it survives, it is taken more seriously.” Bitcoin has soared by around 130 percent this year, further cementing its momentum.
Trump’s campaign promises included making the United States the “crypto capital of the planet,” inspiring confidence in crypto investors as scrutiny from previous regulatory environments appears to wane.
As we evaluate the evolving landscape of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, it's clear that political shifts are driving significant trends in the market.
