Bitcoin hit a new peak price of $75,000 during early Asian trading on Wednesday, November 6, according to Tradingview measuring prices on Binance. The price pump followed a 9% gain on the day as the US election votes were counted, and Donald Trump extended his lead over Kamala Harris. CoinGecko also had BTC trading at an all-time high but posted a lower aggregate price of $74,500.
The total market capitalization hit $2.57 trillion on Wednesday morning, its highest level since late July, primarily driven by Bitcoin’s new peak.
