Bitcoin tops record $80,000 as Trump nears sweep of US Congress

The price of bitcoin has risen above $80,000 (£62,000) for the first time ever, after Donald Trump's decisive victory in the US election last week.

Bitcoin has recently surged to new all-time highs, reaching over $80,000, as speculation around the U.S. election intensifies. Analysts and experts have linked the rise to the potential for Donald Trump's victory in the upcoming elections. Trump's pro-cryptocurrency stance, promising favorable regulations and a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, has sparked optimism among investors. This optimism is driven by expectations that a Trump presidency will lead to clearer regulations and increased institutional investments in the crypto space. Trump’s narrative of positioning the U.S. as the "bitcoin superpower" has been well-received by the crypto community, helping drive the surge in Bitcoin's price​.

Experts like Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, have predicted Bitcoin could go beyond $80,000 in the short term, fueled by the anticipation of favorable policies under a Trump administration. However, analysts also caution about Bitcoin's inherent volatility​
