Paul Manafort, former campaign chairman for Donald Trump, expressed optimism for Bitcoin's future, predicting it could exceed $100,000 as Trump’s administration aims to create a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment. With recent appointments, including Paul Atkins to lead the SEC and David Sacks as the White House AI & Crypto Czar, the market anticipates clearer regulations that could bolster Bitcoin's growth. Analyst Ali Martinez suggests Bitcoin could reach $275,000, provided it maintains support above $96,000.
