The Impact of Trump and Rising Bitcoin Prices in the Crypto Market
The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States and the Fed’s interest rate cuts are continuing to support the rise in the cryptocurrency market. Trump’s potential victory in the presidential race has increased investors’ risk appetite, boosting demand for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This is one of the key factors behind Bitcoin’s recent rapid rise.
On Thursday, the Fed reduced interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 4.5% – 4.75%. This rate cut narrowed the Fed-Bitcoin yield gap, supporting Bitcoin’s price. Along with the Fed’s rate cut, investors have been turning to cryptocurrencies, helping Bitcoin approach the $80,000 level. The pricing of Bitcoin options listed on Deribit also suggests that the BTC rally may continue.
Bitcoin’s strong performance has contributed to a 13.5% increase in the overall crypto market cap, reaching $2.5 trillion. These developments indicate that Bitcoin is very close to surpassing the $80,000 level.
