Bitcoin’s price rally came shortly after pro-crypto Donald Trump was elected as the next president of the United States, securing more than 270 Electoral College votes and a majority in the popular vote. Although some ballots remain uncounted, Trump has been declared the winner.
Bitcoin (BTC) has since slightly pulled back to $74,721, as per data from crypto.news. Analysts suggest that Trump’s election, coupled with his anticipated pro-crypto policies, may drive growth not only for Bitcoin but also for other digital assets.
