This week, Bitcoin rallied to new records after surging above the $90,000 mark as investors speculate over the coming Donald Trump administration that might support the cryptocurrency market. Excitement catapults the price following a policy change that some say heralds a new age for digital assets. This impetus from the rally pushed Bitcoin to $93,480 on Wednesday, a milestone worth noticing in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin to the moon: The most sought-after crypto asset is rocketing

Since the US election of 5 November, Bitcoin has gained an impressive spurt. On Wednesday, it hit an all-time high of $93,480 before falling slightly to $88,185. In the last week, it had spurted as much as 32%, and investors and financial analysts worldwide were looking deeply at it.

Even more minor currencies have surged. Ether, for one, has risen by 37% since Election Day. Dogecoin, another highly volatile currency in which Elon Musk, an avowed Trump supporter, expressed interest, gained upwards of 150% during that period.

Crypto Optimism Under Trump Administration

According to market analysts, hopes for a crypto-friendly Trump administration are to blame for Bitcoin’s recent meteoric price appreciation. During the Trump campaign, he promised to make the United States a world leader in digital assets, even proposing building a national reserve of Bitcoin. Many of these proposals have been used as speculation, bringing forth waves of optimism from crypto investors.(More)

Eaglebrook Head of Research Damon Polistina said the pro-Bitcoin administration, Senate, and proposed legislative changes drive the market’s rally. “What you’ve seen since the election is the market hoping or realizing what that could mean for Bitcoin in the medium to long term,” Polistina said. He added that such developments could make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset for the US Treasury.

Institutional Interest and Regulatory Impact

Another development contributing to the hype in the crypto market is a hope for less watchful regulation. With the Trump administration, investors expect the ties that keep the SEC very openly intrusive are to be loosened. Crypto proponent Zach Pandl, research director at Grayscale Investments, said the election results may unlock major financial institutions, such as banks and exchanges, to engage in blockchain without too much constraint.

Software company and major Bitcoin investor MicroStrategy disclosed it was buying around $2 billion of the digital currency as far back as November. That news sent shares in the company to an all-time high. Trump and his sons unveiled World Liberty Financial, a new crypto venture that only encouraged investors.

Analysts Cautious About Volatility

As euphoria spread worldwide about Bitcoin’s meteoric rise to new heights, some financial analysts warn people not to get too carried away. JJ Kinahan, chief executive of IG North America, thinks that the rally in Bitcoin may continue until we get a clearer picture of what the new administration will be doing. “Many people feel we inevitably get to bitcoin at $100k,” Kinahan said, hinting that the rally will carry through into Trump’s inauguration Day.

Still, others have already warned that volatility is next. Georgi Koreli, CEO of blockchain trading platform Hinkal, tells investors not to let their guard down as prices have recently hit a high. “With Bitcoin reaching $90K and hitting a new all-time high, investors should be cautious about the potential volatility ahead,” Koreli said. He also admitted that it might be possible that BTC can go higher up to a value of $95,000 or even reach $100,000 but believes that it may need a short-term pause or correction before further appreciation.

Outlook for Crypto Market

The various indicators are the most critical as the crypto market anxiously waits for the signs of direction in policy brought by the Trump administration’s inauguration. Unless the newly incoming government delivers on its promises during the campaign regarding easing restrictions and furthering a crypto-friendly environment, further gains of Bitcoin and other digital currencies will be the least in question. Meanwhile, the historical surge will put Bitcoin in the books for being a significant player on the global financial scene, gazing admirably towards the 100,000 mark.
