Commenting on Bitcoin’s milestone achievement of $100K, Shunyet Jan, emphasized the pivotal role of recent political developments in driving the surge.
“The recent rally can largely be attributed to Trump’s pick of Paul Atkins, a former SEC Chair and a vocal crypto supporter. This announcement has significantly bolstered institutional confidence in the crypto space,” said Jan.
Jan further highlighted the shift in sentiment among traditionally crypto-cautious institutions:
“Many institutions that were previously hesitant about crypto have now reached out to explore opportunities. They are actively engaging with us to onboard and propose various custodial solutions. This marks a transformative moment in the institutional adoption of cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin’s $100K milestone serving as a critical inflection point.”
