November 11, 2024 (MLN): Bitcoin surged past $81,000 for the first time, following Donald Trump's return to the White House that traders bet would be good for the cryptocurrency.

The largest token jumped to $81,544 early in Asia on Monday, after rising 4.8% yesterday.

It has been rising since Trump last week won as the Republican candidate has vowed to put the US at the center of the digital-asset industry, including creating a strategic Bitcoin stockpile.

The cryptocurrency has soared about 93% so far in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US exchange-traded funds and interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. That is more than returns from investments such as stocks and gold.

The ETFs, powered by BlackRock Inc.’s $35 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust, posted a record daily net inflow of almost $1.4 billion on Thursday, according to Bloomberg.

A day earlier, the iShares ETF’s trading volume jumped to an all-time peak — all signs of how Trump’s victory is reshaping crypto.
