Bitcoin Sets New Record High Near $90,000

The rally of Bitcoin shows no signs of slowing down as it approaches $90,000, setting the stage for its strongest weekly performance since the United States banking crisis in 2023.

On Nov. 11, Bitcoin surpassed the $85,000 record high, but this milestone served only as a temporary stop.

As of 8:14 am UTC, the world's leading cryptocurrency is trading at $88,879, representing a gain of over 29% for the past week, according to TradingView data.

This nearly 30% weekly return marks Bitcoin's best seven-day performance since the U.S. banking crisis in 2023, noted Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33 Research, who posted on Nov. 12:

“Bitcoin has seen its best 7-day return since the U.S. banking crisis on March 18, 2023. Bitcoin’s market cap has grown by a staggering $413bn in the past week!”

The banking crisis in March 2023 led to the abrupt collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the voluntary liquidation of Silvergate Bank.

Additionally, Signature Bank was forced to cease operations by New York regulators on March 12, just two days after Silvergate’s liquidation.

This financial turmoil was a key driver of Bitcoin’s bull run last year, explained Arthur Hayes, BitMEX co-founder and former CEO.

Bitcoin's momentum has accelerated since Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, spurring increased risk-on behavior among investors who expect more pro-business and innovation-friendly policies in the United States.

Trump's economic strategy could even push Bitcoin’s price to exceed $1 million, according to Hayes, who wrote in a Nov. 12 blog post:

“It took $4 trillion to decrease the debt-to-nominal GDP ratio from 132% to 115%. Let’s say the US reduces it further to 70%, which is where the ratio was in September 2008. Just using a linear extrapolation equates to $10.5 trillion of credit that must be created to accomplish this deleveraging. This is how Bitcoin goes to $1 million because prices are set on the margin.”

Hayes added that increased credit in the U.S. would drive more investors to seek out safe haven assets like Bitcoin:

“As the freely traded supply of Bitcoin dwindles, the most fiat money in history will be chasing a safe haven from not just Americans but Chinese, Japanese, and Western Europeans. Get long, and stay long.”

Quantitative easing, a monetary policy where central banks purchase government bonds to increase liquidity and stimulate the economy, often has a positive impact on Bitcoin.

These liquidity injections typically encourage investors to seek higher returns in alternative assets like Bitcoin.
