Novogratz expressed confidence that BTC, currently trading at $97,661.92 as per Coingecko, with a surge of 0.5%, could see a significant price rally in the near term. “I wouldn’t be surprised if BTC surges further,” he stated, highlighting the cabinet’s positive outlook on digital currencies.

A Political Boost for Bitcoin?

While Novogratz stopped short of making specific predictions, the crypto community is buzzing with speculations about BTC price trajectory. Some believe that, when people will get to know that cabinet members are in full support of BTC, the investor interest would increase and BTC could breach $100,000 as soon as tomorrow.
