The implications of Trump's presidency on the cryptocurrency market are multifaceted.

On-chain metrics further support this bullish trend, with the number of active Bitcoin addresses increasing by 10% to 1.1 million within an hour of the announcement (source: Glassnode, January 20, 2025, 11:00 AM EST).
