Bitcoin surged to a record high of over $81,000 on Monday, getting a boost from Donald Trump’s win in the 2024 US election as he embraces digital currency and the prospect of a Congress featuring pro-crypto lawmakers. According to a report by Reuters, Bitcoin, which stood as low as $38,505 on January 23, has more than doubled now. Trump’s pro-crypto stance during his campaign has been a major driver of this surge.
