As the U.S. prepares for another Donald Trump presidency, the financial markets are already feeling the impact. Bitcoin surged past $82,000, spurred by the president-elect’s positive stance on digital assets and the potential for pro-crypto lawmakers in Congress. Dogecoin also jumped over 50% in just five days, reflecting broader interest in digital currencies. Not wanting to miss the momentum, former executives from Millennium Management and Pimco are launching a digital-asset consultancy — further evidence of growing institutional interest.

U.S. stock futures rose as well, with Trump’s victory reigniting investor appetite for equities. Meanwhile, Trump’s cabinet picks are beginning to roll out, including former immigration chief Tom Homan as “border czar” and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as the likely choice for U.S. Ambassador to the UN. Trump is also pushing for the Senate’s cooperation to allow recess appointments, adding to the GOP’s potential “trifecta” control over the presidency and both chambers of Congress.

Rising interest rates could affect borrowing costs, while his administration’s pro-business stance may provide a boost to certain real estate sectors.
