Bitcoin tops $74K for the first time as crypto seen benefiting from a potential Trump win

Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) on Tuesday smashed past the $74K mark in a historic first, in the process also setting a new record high, after former U.S. President Donald Trump took a lead over Vice President Kamala Harris amid an ongoing count to decide the presidential election. BTC-USD was last +8.9% at $74,245.70. The world's largest cryptocurrency has received a shot in the arm lately after Trump embraced it as part of his election campaign - a marked departure from President Joe Biden's current government which has cracked down on the sector. Trump in July made an appearance at the annual Bitcoin Conference where he said he wanted to turn the U.S. into the "crypto capital of the planet and the bitcoin superpower of the world." The former U.S. President also said he would hold the cryptocurrency in a strategic national stockpile if re-elected. Trump this year became the first-ever major U.S. party nominee to accept donations in bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and other crypto assets. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) and the crypto industry in general has received a lot of attention in 2024.

Not long after, bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) surged to a record high north of $73,000 in March, though it retreated after its last halving on April 19.
