Reaction from the Crypto Community
Following today’s surge, Bitcoin has extended its market dominance to over 60%.
Popular crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen commented, “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but BTC dominance is likely going to top within the next 8 weeks.”
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins will continue to thrive regardless of the election results. Hougan claimed that “Washington can’t stop crypto.” The surge in BTC’s price is quite impressive as the coin recently pulled back sharply to $67,000, as CNF reported.
At the same time, Bitcoin ETF Inflows reached $1.4 Billion amid a record 17-day streak. This jump reflects increased demand from US institutional investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin. Demand for these ETFs soared before the election, with many seeking accessible ways to invest in Bitcoin during uncertain times.
