Bitcoin Hits New Heights: What Drives the Unexpected Surge?

On Monday, during Asian trading hours, Bitcoin soared to a new record high of $109,333, just hours before Donald Trump's inauguration.

Market Dynamics

Earlier in the day, Bitcoin briefly dipped, falling to nearly $100,000 from Sunday's high of over $102,000. The decline coincided with the launch of a memecoin by First Lady Melania Trump, which temporarily drew liquidity away from major assets. Despite the volatility, investor sentiment remains strong. Trump has been a vocal supporter of cryptocurrencies, pledging during his campaign to make the U.S. the ‘crypto capital of the planet’ and establish a ‘strategic national bitcoin reserve’.

Expert Insights

Industry leaders believe Trump's crypto-friendly stance is fueling Bitcoin's rally. 'Bitcoin reached $108K while other cryptocurrencies rapidly pumped on the eve of the U.S. presidential inauguration,' said Ben El-Baz, Managing Director of HashKey Global. 'Hopes for new policies and regulators are driving optimism that BTC's price could go much higher this year as the U.S. economy strengthens.'

Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, also noted the positive impact of recent developments. 'The launch of TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins has attracted more retail users and reinforced Trump's commitment to the crypto industry. Designating crypto as a national priority has sent a strong signal to the market. Bitcoin's surge was expected and will likely continue through the week.'

Market Outlook

Bitcoin's dominance has risen to nearly 60%, the highest since December 20. The gap between Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) has also widened, with Bitcoin's market cap now $1.75 trillion larger than Ethereum's — the largest difference ever recorded. Year-end predictions for Bitcoin range from $185,000 to $250,000, signaling sustained bullish momentum. As Trump prepares to take office, the crypto market is watching closely for policy moves that could further bolster digital asset growth.

The recent record rise of Bitcoin highlights the strong demand for cryptocurrencies amid global market uncertainties. Significant contributors to this surge include backing from the new U.S. president and expectations regarding new regulatory changes.
