Crypto Government in the USA: Cryptocurrency Boom as Bitcoin Surges 35% to $89,750 in a Month
Following Donald Trump’s election as President, a significant surge in cryptocurrency markets has been observed. Bitcoin has risen by 35% over the past month, nearing a record high of $90,000. Trump is expected to remove Gary Gensler, head of the Securities Exchange, and plans to elevate Bitcoin as an official digital asset of the United States.
Additionally, there is consideration for promoting the concept of “Made in America” within Bitcoin mining. Trump’s campaign also received approximately $135 million in donations from the crypto and fintech sectors, which has influenced recent trends. This development suggests that a “crypto-friendly” administration may be forming in the USA.
