Here’s what’s going on: let’s get into why Bitcoin’s on this massive run after the election, what it means for investors, and how it’s affecting the whole crypto market.

This isn’t Bitcoin’s first time rallying after a U.S. election. If we look back at 2020, you’ll see a similar story. Bitcoin took off after the election too, rising over 145% in just three months! Back then, it wasn’t just politics—there were a bunch of factors, like institutions starting to get into crypto, and the general hype around it.
After the 2020 election, Bitcoin rallied 145%. Elections seemed to give Bitcoin a boost, but there was likely more to the story than just who's in office.
Bitcoin's Ripple Effect
Bitcoin’s rally isn’t happening in a bubble. Suprisingly, Bitcoin’s trading volume on Election Day hit a record high for 2024. People aren’t just watching; they’re putting their money in.
On Election Day, Bitcoin’s trading volume reached $572 million, the highest volume all year. Everyone seems to be getting in, big time.
