Impact of Trump's Election Win: After Republican candidate Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election last Tuesday, expectations of easier regulations for digital currencies led to an increase in Bitcoin's value. This has had a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market, encouraging investors.

Previous Record Broken: On Wednesday, Bitcoin's value reached $75,000, surpassing the previous all-time high of $73,797.98 set in March.

Trump's Changing Perspective: During his first term, Trump called cryptocurrencies a "scam." However, more recently, he has understood the importance of digital currencies and announced his own platform to promote their development.

New Platform Announcement: In September, Trump announced the launch of a digital currency platform called World Liberty Financial, in collaboration with his sons and other entrepreneurs.

Weak Start for Token Sale: The token sale, which began earlier this month, saw weak performance. Only a fraction of the available tokens found buyers, presenting challenges for the initial phase of the new platform.

Historic Transaction in New York: During his campaign, Trump purchased a burger using Bitcoin at a restaurant in New York City. This made him the first former president to use Bitcoin, and the transaction was hailed as "historic."
