TL;DR Summary
Bitcoin surged to a new record high above $98,000 following the U.S. elections, with expectations to reach $100,000 by year-end. The rise is fueled by the launch of options trading for spot bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust. President-elect Donald Trump is forming a pro-crypto cabinet, potentially appointing Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick to the Department of Commerce. Trump's administration is also considering a new White House role focused on cryptocurrency policy. Ethereum and other crypto-related stocks also saw significant gains.
