One week after the U.S. elections, the cryptocurrency market continues to surge, especially Bitcoin (BTC), which broke through $88,000 on Monday, setting a new all-time high. The CoinDesk Bitcoin Index (XBX) shows that Bitcoin has increased by 11.3% in the past 24 hours, reaching a peak of $88,448. The current market capitalization of Bitcoin is approximately $1.37 trillion, surpassing the total market capitalization of silver, a feat not seen since the beginning of the year, driven by the market enthusiasm for spot ETFs.

Buoyed by the weekend's market performance, related crypto stocks have also strengthened. Coinbase (COIN) stock rose nearly 20%, closing at over $320, marking a new high since November 2021. The stock prices of Bitcoin mining companies MARA Holdings (MARA), CleanSpark (CLSK), and Hut 8 (HUT) also increased by 25%-30%.
