Since the election the future for crypto has done a complete 180o! Trump and all those around him are themselves investors. Many of the senators been voted in are crypto friendly. Gary Gensler will be gone on Jan 20 a crypto friendly chair will replace him.Many commentators expect the outstanding cases to be dropped or settled thereafter.
Regulation is coming next year, which will bring more institutional and retail investors alike. Trump has said he's going to start a Bitcoin reserve fund. Extremely bullish now, hence the pump up.
