The cryptocurrency rose by 5.5% on Monday, marking a fresh milestone in its upward trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise in Bitcoin followed Trump and his wife Melania unveiling their own memecoins over the weekend. These tokens initially drew significant attention, quickly amassing a market capitalization exceeding $15 billion before experiencing a sharp decline. The launch briefly disrupted the digital asset market, diverting investments away from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, while also drawing criticism from some industry insiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, Bitcoin, along with other major cryptocurrencies like Ether and XRP, showed strong recovery and momentum. This surge aligns with expectations of Trump&#8217;s administration prioritizing cryptocurrency development. Reports suggest Trump may issue an executive order to designate the crypto sector as a \u201cnational priority,\u201d which could further bolster its adoption and regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market analysts attribute Bitcoin&#8217;s rally to retail investors&#8217; optimism about Trump&#8217;s potential policies aimed at strengthening the crypto ecosystem. Ben El-Baz, managing director of HashKey Global, highlighted that the recent memecoin launches have intensified Bitcoin\u2019s momentum as traders anticipate Trump&#8217;s commitment to the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a news tip for Lakshmishree reporters?
