Bitcoin crossed $77,000 on Friday, Nov. 8, setting a new all-time high for the second consecutive day.
Bitcoin reached a new all time high of $77,020 roughly 48 hours after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, along with the election of several pro-crypto policymakers to Congress. With a market cap of $1.5 trillion, Bitcoin now ranks as the world’s ninth most valuable asset, surpassing Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta.
BTC’s year-to-date growth has exceeded 118% with this recent surge. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin has increased by nearly 25% as seasonal trends and halving-year data indicated bullish prospects. During the last two election cycles, Bitcoin has reached new highs and has not returned to pre-election levels.
