Bitcoin beats regulatory hurdles, hits $100K level

The rise in cryptocurrency was hastened by the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election.

Bitcoin prices have risen by over 50% since the US presidential Election Day (5 November 2024) in anticipation that the Trump administration will ease regulatory hurdles and create a more favorable environment for digital assets. The market cap of Bitcoin is now a massive $2 trillion.

The rise in Bitcoin prices beyond the $100,000 mark is a testament to the resilience and adoption of Bitcoin, says Sumit Gupta, co-founder, CoinDCX.
