Solana Breach Of $200 Excites Analysts The world’s largest and most recognized cryptocurrency has now more than doubled from the year’s low of $38,4000 and was last at $81,405 having earlier touched a record high of $81,890, data from Coingecko shows. A day after the elections, Bitcoin hit $75k, topping its previous high of $74,797 last March. Bitcoin\u2019s early November price surge isn\u2019t surprising, knowing how Bitcoin and crypto have become a hot election topic. 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\u2019s latest surge pushed the asset\u2019s market cap to over $2.7 trillion, data from CoinMarketCap show. Bitcoin Inks Another ATH, Boosts The Crypto Landscape Bitcoin\u2019s bullish price action started last November 5th, when Trump\u2019s numbers showed a convincing win. Earlier Wednesday, Bitcoin\u2019s price hit $75k and soon surged to new highs until, Monday. Bitcoin\u2019s surge also benefited the rest of the crypto industry. For example, with Bitcoin’s price ascent, MicroStrategy\u2019s share price increased, which was confirmed with Coinbase Global. Traders\u2019 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\u2019t 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.
