While Democrat Kamala Harris pitched her support for new technologies like AI, Trump was seen as more receptive and favorable to the Bitcoin and crypto community. Bitcoin’s latest surge pushed the asset’s market cap to over $2.7 trillion, data from CoinMarketCap show.

Bitcoin Inks Another ATH, Boosts The Crypto Landscape

Bitcoin’s bullish price action started last November 5th, when Trump’s numbers showed a convincing win. Earlier Wednesday, Bitcoin’s price hit $75k and soon surged to new highs until, Monday.

Bitcoin’s surge also benefited the rest of the crypto industry. For example, with Bitcoin’s price ascent, MicroStrategy’s share price increased, which was confirmed with Coinbase Global. Traders’ optimism is high; even the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 ended the week in black.

Trump’s Change In Bitcoin Policy

Interestingly, incoming President Trump wasn’t initially keen on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. During his first presidency, Trump labeled these digital assets as scams. However, with his recent public appearances and pronouncements, Trump changed his tune and now shows massive support.

In one of his campaign speeches, Trump promised to make the US the Bitcoin and crypto capital of the world. He also enjoys the support of many famous crypto personalities, including Elon Musk.

Crypto Project

Aside from his public statements supporting Bitcoin, Trump has also explored a crypto project. Last September, Trump and his sons and other entrepreneurs launched World Liberty Financial, a digital currency platform. However, technical difficulties and other issues marred the project’s launch.

Although Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are known for their volatility, Trump has led the adoption of digital assets in recent months. Before the elections, he used BTC for retail purchases, the first US president to do so, making it a historic transaction.
