<p>In the past week alone, Bitcoin has surged by 19.1%. Much of this rally is attributed to the election of pro-Bitcoin candidate <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/2024-us-elections-result-donald-trump-officially-elected-president/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency</a>, which has sparked optimism across the entire cryptocurrency market. Leading cryptos such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), XRP, and even meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) have all benefitted from this market momentum.</p>
