$BTC Bitcoin surpasses $80,000 and
$ZEC Zcash soars 11%: What drove the post-election rebound?
After the initial volatility of the U.S. vote count, the crypto market shifted gears with a strong rebound:
1. Macroeconomic relief:
Bitcoin rose 5.7% to nearly $80,484 during the Asian session, accompanied by gains in Ethereum (+8%), Solana (+5.9%) and BNB (+4.2%). The major catalyst came from energy: Brent crude fell more than 8% as investors bet that the new political balance in Washington would accelerate diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in the Middle East, easing global inflationary pressures.
2. Zcash’s (
$ZEC ) surge:
It was the standout among major cryptocurrencies, rising 11.7% to around $1,318 on daily volume of $1.2 billion. The main driver is technical: the imminent NU7 upgrade, which cuts block confirmation time from 75 to just 25 seconds, tripling the operational speed of exchange deposits.
3. The legislative warning:
Despite the price euphoria, analysts such as Jeff Mei (COO of BTSE) warn that the Democratic victory in both chambers changes the rules of the game: the CLARITY Act is unlikely to pass in its current form, and sectors such as financial privacy will face greater ethical scrutiny and scrutiny over illicit finance starting January 3.
📌 With oil prices falling and risk appetite revived, attention is focused on U.S. employment data due at the end of the week.
