Benzinga readers see more gains for Bitcoin BTC/USD after the leading cryptocurrency passed multiple new all-time highs after Donald Trump's re-election.
The current all-time high for Bitcoin is $93,434.36, which was reached on Nov. 13. Before that, Bitcoin knocked out various prices in the $80,000s.
Benzinga recently asked its readers: "Which cryptocurrency do you think will see the biggest price increase by the end of 2025?"

The poll found Bitcoin to be the winner, which comes with the cryptocurrency already up significantly over the last year and trading near all-time highs.
