Bitcoin’s value soared to a record-breaking high of over $105,000 early Monday in Asian markets, continuing its upward trajectory since Republican Donald Trump was elected U.S. president.
Trump’s pro-cryptocurrency stance has significantly influenced the recent gains of digital currency.
The cryptocurrency reached an all-time peak of $105,142 and was last seen trading around $104,666. This surge is largely attributed to weekend reports that President Trump is set to move forward with a Bitcoin strategic reserve fund, a step seen as a major endorsement of cryptocurrency.
Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG, provided insights on the momentum: “We’re in blue sky territory here,” he noted. Sycamore states the market’s next milestone is likely the $110,000 mark.
The Trump administration’s introduction of a Bitcoin strategic reserve fund could solidify the cryptocurrency’s standing in financial markets, potentially leading to widespread adoption and stability. Such a move is expected to bolster investor confidence and could pave the way for more governmental and institutional acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
