Market Impact and Policy Shifts
On election night, Nov. 5, bitcoin surged to an all-time high, breaking past $75,000 as Trump claimed victory. With a Republican sweep across Congress, this outcome is seen by the crypto community as the most favorable result for digital assets. Trump’s vocal support for crypto, along with his criticism of the SEC’s restrictive stance, has fueled expectations for a regulatory landscape that encourages innovation and growth. The market’s swift reaction, even before the race was called, underscores crypto’s role as a 24/7 barometer of major events.
