The upward trend in cryptocurrency prices continued on Wednesday, November 23, with Bitcoin setting a historic record. Analysts link this trend to Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election, as he had previously expressed support for cryptocurrencies. On Wednesday, Bitcoin reached a historic high of $92,592, marking a 7% increase from the previous day, fueled by Trump's election promises to support digital currency. Since Trump's victory announcement, Bitcoin's price has surged by a quarter in just one week. Earlier this year, Bitcoin's price fluctuated around $40,000 and even dipped below $39,000 at one point. Thus, the price of this cryptocurrency has increased by approximately 117% since the beginning of this year and by 157% compared to October of last year. Statistics from specialized cryptocurrency websites indicate that almost all major cryptocurrencies experienced price increases on this day. Ethereum rose by over 1% to $3,303, while Dogecoin traded at around 42 cents, reflecting a 12% price increase. Some cryptocurrencies saw even larger jumps, such as Pepe, which experienced a 46% rise compared to the previous day. During his election campaign, Donald Trump promised to make the United States the 'capital of cryptocurrency in the world' and to create a national treasury of Bitcoin. The statements from the elected U.S. president and the entry of pro-cryptocurrency representatives and senators into Congress have heightened expectations for more favorable conditions for cryptocurrency trading in the country, further accelerating the value of cryptocurrencies.
