Bitcoin soared past $75,000, reaching a new record as results trickled in from the US presidential race. The cryptocurrency surged over 8% late Tuesday as former President and crypto supporter Donald Trump took early leads in key states like Georgia and North Carolina. Trump’s strong stance on digital assets contrasts with Kamala Harris, who as vice president supported industry regulations. Investors saw Bitcoin as a top trading instrument for this election due to its liquidity and Trump’s crypto-friendly position. Other cryptocurrencies followed suit, with Ethereum up 6.5% and Dogecoin rising 18%.
