The cryptocurrency market has seen an upswing, driven by anticipation of a favorable regulatory climate as President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration. The global crypto market cap surpassed $3.5 trillion on January 14, reflecting a 2.3% increase over the past day. Bitcoin led this positive trend, recovering from a dip to $89,000 to close at $94,485. Among the top performers were Dogecoin, Cardano, and XRP, which rose by 9.3%, 6.8%, and 6.2%, respectively.

Market enthusiasm surged with announcements of potential executive orders Trump might implement immediately upon taking office, prioritizing policies favorable to cryptocurrencies. Reports indicate Trump intends to address crucial agendas, including revising digital asset de-banking and overturning accounting policies that classify bank-held crypto assets as liabilities.


Leading up to December 2024, industry insiders reportedly urged Trump to propose new cryptocurrency regulations within his first 100 days, with markets keenly anticipating discussions on January 20, his inauguration date. Trump’s 2024 campaign fueled optimism among crypto investors by advocating for regulatory frameworks supportive of digital currencies, including a proposal for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and tax incentives aimed at spurring industry growth.

Simultaneously, Michael Saylor, chairman of MicroStrategy, revealed the company’s acquisition of an additional 2,530 BTC worth $243 million, maintaining its 10-week streak of continuous investment. MicroStrategy now owns over 450,000 BTC, valued at $43.3 billion. Similarly, Semler Scientific reported acquiring 237 BTC for $23.3 million, boosting their total holdings since May 2024.

Analysts are forecasting further growth, with technical charts suggesting the overall crypto market could achieve a valuation of $10 trillion. Historically, previous resistance levels serve as support, fostering projections of a continued market rally. Independent crypto analyst Jelle expressed optimism, suggesting the market is on the brink of significant gains following its recent price consolidation phase.
