But whatโs driving this bull rally, and how close are we to seeing Bitcoin hit that $100K milestone?
Trumpโs Pro-Crypto Policies Spark Optimism
Bitcoin is riding a bullish wave since President-elect Donald Trumpโs plans to foster the crypto industry. Discussions about creating a White House digital-asset policy position have further boosted the market sentiments.
Trump, now considered one of cryptoโs most prominent advocates, has energized investors and industry insiders alike. According to Caroline Bowler, CEO of BTC Markets, โThis price rally is being fed by the frequent pro-crypto news linked to the incoming Trump administration.โ
Since the start of 2024, Bitcoin has surged 129%, outperforming traditional investments like gold and stocks. Following Election Day, U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $4 billion in inflows, signaling growing confidence in the prospect of crypto-friendly legislation under Trumpโs leadership.
BlackRock Dominates Bitcoin ETF Inflows

Total Bitcoin ETF trading volume jumped to $5.71 billion on November 20, marking a significant increase from the previous dayโs $4.78 billion.
Ethereum ETFs Face a Different Story
