Bitcoin reaches new record high above US$80,000
ai generated text
The value of bitcoin soared over the weekend, hitting a new all-time high of $81,899. This milestone marks a significant increase from its previous high of $73,797.98 in March, and represents an 80% gain for the year. This surge follows the news of Trump's victory, which was interpreted as a bullish sign by the crypto industry. In contrast to the S&P 500, which is up 25.7% this year, bitcoin's performance is remarkable. The crypto industry is optimistic about the future of bitcoin and other digital currencies, with some investors citing Trump's new crypto business, World Liberty Financial, as a contributing factor to the rise in value.
ETF inflows have been the dominant driver of Bitcoin returns, and we expect this to continue in the near-term.

Bitcoin is completely unsuitable for payments, and it's also not reliable as a stable investment. The only real reason to buy bitcoin is speculative.
The incoming Trump administration may lead to expedited regulatory clarity, enhanced institutional participation, improved market infrastructure, and broader mainstream adoption.
Trump's pragmatic approach marks a clear departure from recent regulatory restrictions.
Bitcoin's Trump-pump is alive and well... with Republicans on the cusp of taking the house to confirm a red wave in Congress, it seems the crypto crowd are betting on digital-currency deregulation.
Investors should only dabble in crypto with money that they can be prepared to lose.
