In a significant political shift, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has conceded her defeat in the US election. This development marks the advent of a new era led by Republican leader Donald Trump, who has successfully secured at least 295 electoral votes against Harris’ 226. This victory represents the second time that Trump has been chosen by the US electorate to head the White House, having first been elected in 2016.
Trump’s First Presidency and the Bitcoin Surge
Trump’s initial presidency was notably marked by an extraordinary boom in the Bitcoin market, with a growth of 2372.05%. His pro-crypto stance during his first term captured the attention of the digital currency community. As Trump embarks on his second term, the crypto community is keenly observing the potential for further advancements in the BTC market.
Bitcoin’s Journey Since Trump’s First Election Victory
The journey of Bitcoin since Trump’s first election victory on November 8, 2016, has been remarkable. At the time of his election, Bitcoin was valued at approximately $600. By the end of his first term on November 3, 2020, the price had escalated to $14,033.10. In comparison, during President Biden’s tenure, the BTC market experienced a growth of 394.45%, which was significantly lesser than the growth seen in Trump’s first term.
Anticipation for Growth Under Trump’s Second Term
Throughout his campaign, Trump pledged to introduce policies favorable to cryptocurrencies. He also committed to replacing US SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, who is widely criticized within the crypto community for his aggressive anti-crypto stance.
