The Trump Pump – Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High on Election Day

The Trump Pump – Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High on Election Day

Bitcoin achieved a new all-time high as Trump looks to win the U.S. Presidency

Bitcoin climbed to almost $75,000 today, a new all-time high for Bitcoin at $74,867 as the market appeared to celebrate an imminent Trump victory. The Trump Pump, if you will. This jump aligns with recent bullish market momentum, with Bitcoin up over 9% in just the last 24 hours and more than doubling in value since last year.

This price action coincides with a tense U.S. election, with former President Donald Trump pulling ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in early electoral vote counts, leading 198 to 99, according to the Associated Press. Both candidates are aiming for the crucial 270 votes, but for now, Trump’s edge has sparked a renewed “Trump trade” — a rally fueled by investor confidence in his pro-business, pro-crypto stance.

On crypto prediction markets like Polymarket, betting volume on the election winner has skyrocketed to $2 billion, doubling in recent weeks. As the odds tilt in Trump’s favor to the tune of 96% the crypto sector is buzzing, with industry leaders seeing his stance as a potential boon for digital assets. “Many business leaders are lining up support for Trump,” said VanEck’s head of digital assets, Matthew Sigel. “The momentum seems to be there, and it’s showing up in asset performance.”

Crypto ETFs are also experiencing a record year. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has emerged as the top ETF by inflows among 575 launched in 2024, marking Wall Street’s warm embrace of Bitcoin. Traditional investors are flooding into the asset, spurred by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of 10 Bitcoin ETFs in January. So far, Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $20 billion this year, streamlining access for hesitant investors and driving significant market liquidity.

Meanwhile, popular tokens like Dogecoin (DOGE) are surging alongside Bitcoin, buoyed by a strong showing from Trump-supporting entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk, who has hinted at creating a Department of Government Efficiency — playfully abbreviated as “D.O.G.E.” — has injected fresh energy into the meme coin. DOGE soared 20% since Tuesday.
