This Monday, January 20, 2025, Bitcoin exceeded the $109,000 mark, thus breaking its record. An attack of fever occurring a few hours before the return to the White House of Donald Trump, who promised vast deregulation of the cryptocurrency sector.
The leading digital currency by capitalization suddenly rose around 6:30 a.m. until reaching a high of $109,241. The controversial cryptocurrency market, in search of credibility, sees the return of the Republican leader to the White House as a boon, especially with Elon Musk at his side. Because after having described the sector as a “fraud” during his first term, Donald Trump, who is to be inaugurated this Monday as president for the second time, changed his tune during his campaign – partly financed by the sector – claiming his intention to make the United States “the world capital of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies”.
According to the Bloomberg agency, the Republican tycoon plans to quickly publish a decree elevating cryptocurrency to the rank of political priority, and the creation of a national strategic reserve of bitcoins is seriously considered.
-The president-elect even launched his own digital currency during the night from Friday to Saturday, an announcement which caused great volatility on the markets in recent hours. Some 200 million tokens of this currency were put on the market, with dazzling success: trading around 7 dollars shortly after its launch, the “Trump” rose to 75 dollars, before oscillating on Monday around of 45 dollars.
