Bitcoin is on fire! After last week’s impressive surge, crypto bulls are looking toward the all-time highs reached in March, as prices jumped 11% to surpass $67,800. This rally is grabbing the attention of investors, many of whom believe it signals a significant win for pro-crypto Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Here’s an in-depth view.
As the race between Trump and Harris intensifies, cryptocurrency is emerging as a key issue. Trump has pledged to make the U.S. a global leader in crypto, turning Bitcoin into a “Trump trade” where investors speculate on his potential White House return. His strong support for digital assets aligns with a bullish Bitcoin trend and increasing activity in prediction markets, where bets on election outcomes are on the rise.
On platforms like Polymarket, Trump’s odds have risen to 59.7%, while Harris trails at 40%. PredictIt also shows Trump with a slight edge at 54%. This optimism among investors aligns closely with Bitcoin’s rising price, suggesting a growing belief in a Trump victory.

Significant inflows into U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have added to the momentum, with net inflows exceeding $700 million since October 11. As of Thursday, Bitcoin’s price stabilized around $67,260,
Despite the positive sentiment in prediction markets, polling remains tight, with Harris leading Trump by a slim margin of 1.6 percentage points in national polls. However, Trump holds a slight advantage in crucial battleground states.
