ToggleTrump did not mention cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin reached a new high of 109K before retreating
Before being sworn in, Trump and his wife Melania launched meme coins, which diverted investor funds and impacted other cryptocurrencies. However, investors later believed that this was a friendly policy towards cryptocurrencies by Trump. Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $109,588 yesterday afternoon.
However, Trump did not mention cryptocurrencies at all during the inauguration ceremony, and Bitcoin retreated from its high, once approaching the $100,000 mark, and was reported at $103,137 before the deadline.
The meme coin TRUMP issued by him also fell to around $40, a 40% retracement from its high of $72.
