Bitcoin has recently surpassed the $80,000 mark for the first time, reaching a peak of $80,116 before a slight decline. This surge follows the cryptocurrency’s earlier rise above $75,000, breaking its previous record of $73,797.98 from March. The spike coincides with Donald Trump’s declarations supporting cryptocurrency, contrasting sharply with his past skepticism. During his campaign, Trump expressed intentions to position the U.S. as a global hub for crypto, marking a significant shift from regulatory views held by the outgoing Biden administration.
