On November 21, the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $97,600, fueled by renewed optimism following Donald Trump’s re-election as President of the United States.
The world’s largest cryptocurrency has seen a meteoric rise of over 120% since the start of this year, more than tripling from $30,000 in 2023 to its cent at the time of writing – $97,050. As Bitcoin inches closer to the $100,000 mark, its market capitalization has reached an impressive $1.93 trillion.
Analysts attribute this unprecedented growth to increasing institutional investments and the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, which have attracted billions in inflows.
Following Trump’s re-election two weeks ago, Bitcoin has surged by 40%, driven by his promise to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet.” Reports indicate that Trump’s team is working on creating a dedicated White House role for cryptocurrency policy, signaling regulatory clarity and government support for digital assets.
