Bitcoin Surges Past $81,000 As Trump’s Election Fuels Crypto Rally

Bitcoin soared to a record high of $81,899, marking a new milestone for the cryptocurrency sector following the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, as well as the success of several pro-crypto candidates in Congress. The top cryptocurrency has more than doubled since its yearly low of $38,505, and it currently sits around $81,572. Trump’s campaign rhetoric included strong support for digital assets, with promises to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet” and to amass a national bitcoin reserve.

The so-called “Trump trades” have sparked a significant rally in cryptocurrencies, with analysts like City Index’s Matt Simpson noting the continued strength of this “Trump-pump.” Market sentiment has also been boosted by the prospect of regulatory relaxation, particularly as Trump has pledged to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has taken a tough stance on crypto regulation.

Crypto-focused congressional candidates have seen major successes, with the industry investing over $119 million in their campaigns. Notably, anti-crypto Senator Sherrod Brown lost his seat, while several pro-crypto candidates won across key states like Michigan and Alabama.

Trump has signalled personal interest in the sector by launching a crypto-related business, World Liberty Financial, while key allies like Elon Musk continue to champion digital currencies. Eric Trump, the president-elect’s son, will also be a keynote speaker at an upcoming Bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi. The rally has extended beyond Bitcoin, with Ether rising above $3,200 and Dogecoin reaching a three-year high.

Cyprus Economy Outperforms EU Benchmarks With 4.5% Quarterly Growth

February 16, 2026

The Cypriot economy recorded an impressive 4.5% year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to preliminary estimates from the Statistical Service. This performance represents a notable acceleration, with a seasonally adjusted quarterly increase of 1.4% compared to the previous period.

Quarterly Performance Surpasses Expectations

Based on Eurostat data, Cyprus has significantly outpaced its European counterparts. While the Eurozone achieved an average growth rate of 1.3% and the European Union registered 1.5%, Cyprus clearly outperformed both. Such robust quarterly performance underlines the nation’s strategic economic positioning amid global market uncertainties.

Full-Year Projections And Fiscal Discipline

For the entire year 2025, growth is forecasted at 3.75%, exceeding earlier predictions from the Ministry of Finance and several domestic and international agencies, which had estimated an increase between 2.9% and 3.5%. This optimistic projection is supported by a low inflation environment and conditions of near-full employment.

Sustainable Growth Amid Global Uncertainty

Despite increased international volatility, Cyprus continues to demonstrate a resilient economic dynamic. Experts assert that a commitment to prudent and disciplined fiscal policies will bolster the nation’s ability to maintain medium-term growth rates above 3%. This strategic approach offers a strong competitive edge, much like other success stories in high-growth markets where sound economic management has proven vital.
