Traders bet on Bitcoin hitting $100k by end of year

Published

on

Surge in Bitcoin prices follows pro-crypto political victories, with traders betting on a $100,000 milestone by year-end.

Bitcoin’s value surged past $90,000 on Wednesday, marking a record high amid investor excitement surrounding a possible cryptocurrency renaissance as Donald Trump steps into his second term as U.S. president.

The election of Trump, who has openly endorsed crypto, has sparked a 30% rise in bitcoin’s price since Election Day, boosted by the success of dozens of congressional candidates supported by crypto-friendly political action committees.

Hitting $100,000

According to Jake Ostrovskis, an OTC trader at crypto market maker Wintermute, traders are betting that Bitcoin could hit $100,000 before the end of the year, with $850 million in options contracts speculating on this milestone by December 27.

The crypto industry, which contributed around $170 million to support candidates viewed as allies, is optimistic about a wave of deregulation and favorable policies.

Trump has promised to establish a national bitcoin reserve and aims to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has led a strict regulatory approach to crypto.

With aggregate open interest on Bitcoin derivatives soaring to $61 billion, investors are increasingly bullish, betting on bitcoin’s growth via options and perpetual futures contracts.

Despite the bump, the increase likely won’t deter the Federal Reserve from a possible December interest-rate cut.

The Labor Department reported consumer prices were up 2.6% from a year ago, with core inflation, excluding food and energy, up 3.3%.

Steady consumer spending and hiring may fuel debate on slowing rate cuts early next year.

Investors welcomed the report, betting on a quarter-point rate cut in December.

This response reflects confidence that President-Elect Trump and the Fed will avoid early policy clashes, despite Trump’s pro-lower-rate stance.
