The price of bitcoin has risen over $80,000 for the first time following the president-elect's win over Kamala Harris last week.

Bitcoin on Sunday hit a new record above $80,000. The world’s largest cryptocurrency surged in the run-up to Tuesday’s US presidential election, rose sharply immediately on election night after it became clear Donald Trump would win and has continued rising in the days since his victory.

Bitcoin surges past $82,000 on Trump's pro-crypto stance, sparking bullish sentiment and record-breaking gains in digital assets.
