Bitcoin Price Surges Above $97,000 – Here’s What Drove the Momentum

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.

Trump’s Pro-Crypto Agenda

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.

Industry leaders, such as Edul Patel from Mudrex, highlight the administration’s pro-crypto stance as a key factor influencing market sentiment. The introduction of options trading for Bitcoin ETFs registered in the U.S. and MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to increase BTC purchases further underscore this rally.
