Trump, in a keynote speech in Nashville, US, said the US will be the crypto capital of the planet and the Bitcoin superpower of the world, adding: "If crypto is going to define the future, I want it mined, minted and made in the USA. It is not going to be made anywhere else."

The market cap of Bitcoin reached $1.37 trillion according to coinmarketcap data.

The 24-hour volume of the coin was at $23.8 billion and the current price of Bitcoin is at around $69,600 as of GMT1100.

The positive sentiment in cryptocurrency markets was bolstered by expectations of Donald Trump winning the presidential election and speculations of the Fed cutting interest rates twice this year.
