Bitcoin achieved a record value of $109,350.72 before sharply dropping. This occurred on the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration, as the market was influenced by rumors of potential crypto initiatives from the new administration.

Bitcoin's Record High and Subsequent Fall

Enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies was heightened last week amid speculation that Donald Trump might prioritize cryptocurrencies early in his presidency. Rumors circulated about potential announcements of a crypto advisory council and even the establishment of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, adding to the positive market sentiment.

Impact of Trump's Memecoins on the Market

In addition to the weekend events, Donald Trump launched the 'Official Trump' memecoin, which quickly reached a market value of $10 billion. Melania Trump also launched her own 'Melania' memecoin, which reached a trading volume of $7.2 billion. Despite this, Gracy Chen, CEO of crypto exchange Bitget, noted that Bitcoin's rally was driven primarily by policy speculation rather than the memecoin launches.

Future Expectations: What's Next?

Analysts believe that the new administration's support for cryptocurrencies could open new prospects. Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX, saw the launch of memecoins as a way for the administration to show support for cryptocurrencies and position the U.S. as a leader in this space. Despite the market cooling on Monday, there is potential for further growth.

Bitcoin and Trump's memecoins, despite their speculative nature, have increased optimism around cryptocurrencies. The market awaits further moves from the new administration and potential changes in U.S. crypto policies.
