Bitcoin (BTC-USD) broke above $75,000 early Wednesday morning — a record high — as the crypto space rallies on Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, an upward trend overtaking equity markets as well. Bitcoin was considered to be a part of the “Trump Trade” as holders backed the likelihood of a second Trump presidency in the lead-up to the election. Morning Brief welcomes Axios crypto reporter Brady Dale to speak more about President-Elect Trump’s relationship with the crypto community. “The first thing is probably he’s going to get a new SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission} chair, someone else who is not going to be quite so hostile to the industry, isn’t going to sue all of the best companies in the space,” Dale hypothesizes. “And I think that question is just what happens to all these lawsuits and threats of lawsuits — Do a lot of settlements happen? Do they just get thrown out? Because these companies need to know that they can move forward.” Brady — the author of SBF: How The FTX Bankruptcy Unwound Crypto’s Very Bad Good Guy — describes cryptocurrency traders as being “confident” in the fact that Trump will follow through on some of his crypto policy promises, which could lead a push into stablecoin adoption.
