Bitcoin continues its march toward $100,000, and several altcoins could be poised to hit new all-time highs.

Bitcoin (BTC) bulls have kept up the pressure, and the price is trying to climb above $95,000. Options contracts on BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), launched on Nov. 19, were an instant hit.

Crypto markets cheered Donald Trump’s win by pushing Bitcoin to a new all-time high above $75,000, signaling the start of the next leg of the uptrend.

Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high of $75,407 on Nov. 6, eclipsing the previous high of $73,777 made on March 14. The rally was triggered after Donald Trump edged closer to winning the United States presidential election. 

A Trump win is positive because the crypto industry hopes the incoming President will keep the promises made to the crypto community throughout the campaign trail. 10x Research head of research Markus Thielen told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin could skyrocket to $100,000 by Q1 2025.
