Pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump has been declared the President-elect after defeating Kamala Harris in yesterday’s US elections.
Immediately after the Associated Press called the race for the Republican flagbearer, he came out to address a packed crowd at his party’s headquarters in Florida. As Trump delivered his victory speech, it was announced that the Republican party had won the majority of the Senate seats.
What’s more, there is a chance that Trump could secure victory in the House. As of this writing, the Associated Press reports that Republicans have won 198 House seats against Democrats’ 180. Only 57 seats are yet to be called.

Trump’s Crypto Promises
So, what promises did Trump make during his campaign? The president-elect vowed to introduce friendly regulatory measures that promote blockchain innovations. Furthermore, he promised to establish a Bitcoin reserve, back crypto miners in the United States, and oppose CBDC plans.
Notably, while speaking at the Bitcoin Conference in July, Trump said he will fire Gary Gensler, the US Securities and Exchange Commission chair, immediately after occupying the White House. Crypto players have accused Gensler of ‘unfairly targeting’ them, making the business environment hostile.

Bitcoin reached $75,031 earlier today. On Monday, Bernstein analysts said the coin could reach $90,000 on Trump’s win.
