Bitcoin’s Trump‑Boost Fades: From Peak Hype to a Sub‑$60K Slump
Bitcoin surged during the so‑called "Trump Trade" after Donald Trump’s reelection, aided by record ETF inflows and corporate treasuries, and even topped $126,000 at times in 2025–2026. But the rally faded as macro headwinds, crypto outflows, and a shift of capital toward AI took hold, sending BTC below $60,000 and roughly 52% off its all‑time high, even dipping below its 2024 Election Day price. The market’s swing has outpaced regulatory signals labeled under Trump’s term, and traders now question whether Trump’s influence on crypto markets remains intact.
