Trump's new term and Republican control of the Senate are seen as positive for cryptocurrencies, promising clear regulations that will spur blockchain innovation.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong expects this to be “the most pro-crypto Congress yet .” Andrey Lazutkin from Tangem Wallet also believes that the Senate will prioritize friendly policies, creating a favorable environment for crypto companies in the US.
Meanwhile, inflows from U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) also contributed to the rise in Bitcoin prices. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF saw $1 billion worth of trading volume in the first minutes of post-election trading.
