As the odds of pro-crypto presidential candidate Donald Trump significantly surged earlier today, the cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), registered a sharp uptick. With a threshold of 270 electoral votes required to win the presidential elections, Trump had 246 electoral votes compared to 189 for Kamala Harris as of this report, as the former took a lead in major swing states.

Meanwhile, a smart whale deposited 195.4 WBTC, worth about $14.5 million to the Binance exchange in the last 2 hours, and managed to secure a $4.48 million profit as Bitcoin hit a new ATH today.
