The largest token jumped to $81,544 early in Asia on Monday, after rising 4.8% yesterday.
Bitcoin crossed $81,000 for the first time ever on Monday, as Donald Trump's return to the White House bodes well for the cryptocurrency, according to traders.
The largest token surged to $81,544 in early Asian trading on Monday, following a 4.8% gain on Sunday.
It has been rallying ever since Trump emerged the Republican candidate last week, having pledged to put the US at the heart of the digital-asset industry, including creating a strategic Bitcoin stockpile.
The cryptocurrency has soared about 93% so far in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US exchange-traded funds and interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. That compares with gains of about 24% for the S&P 500 Index and 16% for gold this year.
The ETFs, powered by BlackRock Inc.’s $35 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust, posted a record daily net inflow of almost $1.4 billion on Thursday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
A day earlier, the iShares ETF’s trading volume jumped to an all-time peak of more than 122,000 contracts, both showing how Trump's victory is reshaping crypto.
