Many investors are hopeful that Trump’s positive stance on cryptocurrencies, along with a wave of pro-digital asset lawmakers in Congress, could usher in a prosperous period for the crypto industry.
Since the election, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have received over $4 billion in investments. BlackRock’s IBIT options also had a strong start, with more people betting that Bitcoin’s price will go up (call options) than betting it will go down (put options).
