241121: Bitcoin Inches Toward $100K Milestone Amid Pro-Crypto U.S. Policies

241121: Bitcoin Inches Toward $100K Milestone Amid Pro-Crypto U.S. Policies

Beginner
2024-11-21 | 5m

Bitcoin’s price surged above $96,500 during early Asian trading hours, nearing the historic $100,000 milestone and a $2 trillion market cap. This rally, nicknamed the “Trump trade,” follows a Republican election victory and renewed pro-crypto policies in the U.S. Over the past two weeks, Bitcoin has climbed nearly 30%, driven by a crypto-friendly government, Federal Reserve rate cuts, and increased risk appetite among investors.

A key catalyst for the rally is the debut of BlackRock's IBIT options, which saw a record-breaking launch with over $2 billion traded on the first day. Within an hour of trading, 73,000 contracts were exchanged, with a bullish call-to-put ratio of 4.4:1. This strong activity highlights growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a mainstream asset.

Meanwhile, discussions about a potential pro-crypto SEC chair, including candidates like Teresa Goody Guillén, further bolster market optimism. Analysts predict Bitcoin could reach $200,000 in the coming months, supported by increased institutional adoption and diversified trading strategies that may stabilize volatility and attract broader investor participation.
