On Wednesday morning, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high at just over $75,000 on Binance, gaining over 10% within 24 hours.
These gains are supported by the initial results of the U.S. presidential election, which sparked optimism among crypto investors about former President Donald Trump’s chances of returning to office.
The rally marks Bitcoin’s second record high this year; previously, it reached a peak in March, signaling the end of the prolonged “crypto winter” that had kept prices down for years.
Investor excitement over a potential Trump victory intensified as he embraced cryptocurrencies as part of his campaign.
Trump has also promised to replace U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler, whose strict regulatory stance has often frustrated the crypto community. Additionally, Trump proposed the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve, drawing the attention of crypto supporters.
Bitcoin’s surge supported the broader cryptocurrency market.
However, BTC lost some of its gains and, at the time of writing, is trading at $73,900, reflecting an 8.4% increase over the last 24 hours.
