MARA Holdings, a prominent cryptocurrency mining company, saw its stock surge by 5.58% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, riding the wave of Bitcoin's recent price rally.
Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, climbed above the key $87,000 level, reaching $88,646.25 and marking a 1% increase. This upward movement was fueled by several factors, including renewed investor confidence in the crypto market, anticipation of regulatory clarity from the upcoming White House Crypto Summit, and the potential establishment of a strategic crypto reserve by the Trump administration.
The crypto market's optimism stems from the dismissal of the SEC's lawsuit against Coinbase, a move viewed as a significant victory for the industry. Additionally, the Trump administration's plans to tackle inflation and make America more affordable have raised hopes for a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.
