Bitcoin, which has continued to rise since the election of Donald Trump in the United States with the prospect of regulatory relaxation of cryptocurrencies, exceeded $80,000 on Sunday for the first time in its history.
The first digital currency by capitalization exceeded this threshold around midday to reach a high of 80,116 dollars, before falling slightly. It reached the $75,000 mark on Thursday, surpassing its record from last March, which stood at $73,797.98.
Bitcoin is quoted continuously, including on Sundays. Since the results of the American presidential election, its price has soared in unison with the dollar.
Donald Trump in fact pledged during his electoral campaign to make the United States “the world capital of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies”.
The rise of cryptocurrencies, beyond Bitcoin
Memecoins, highly volatile parodic digital currencies, are also experiencing a boost, like dogecoin promoted by billionaire Elon Musk, a fervent supporter of Donald Trump.
By posing as the champion of cryptocurrencies, Donald Trump has taken the opposite view of the Biden government, considered to be in favor of strict regulation of a controversial sector, which largely escapes the control of institutions.
