Bitcoin Hits 75,000 As Trump Projected to Win Presidency

The price of Bitcoin BTC rose by 6,000 to a record 75,005, topping its previous peak of 73,797 by 10. The flagship cryptocurrency hit its previous record high on March 14 following the widely successful launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs and has traded in a narrow range below 70,000 for most of the year.

Bitcoin began its climb after Trump took an early lead in the Electoral College. Interestingly, this happened even though the news media had not yet called for the Republican candidate in any major swing states.

BTC has risen sharply over the last two hours alongside Trump's odds on the online betting marketplace Polymarket, where he is given an 85 chance of winning the US presidency. Traders view a Trump victory as bullish for the global financial markets and the crypto industry compared to Kamala Harris, who isn't perceived as crypto-friendly.
