Bitcoin soars to record high above $82,000 following Trump’s historic US Election win

Bitcoin soared over $82,000 for the first time due to US President-elect Donald Trump’s support of digital assets and the possibility of lawmakers favouring it in Congress, Bloomberg reported.

Bitcoin jumped nearly 6.1 per cent on Sunday. On Monday, at 10:21 am in London, it crossed the highest $82,300. Smaller tokens, such as Dogecoin, promoted by Elon Musk, also rose.
