CryptoSlate reports that Bitcoin has surged over 5% to exceed $80,000 for the first time since the Binance hack. The cryptocurrency's recovery from a low of around $75,600 occurred despite concerns over a Democratic Congress potentially impacting President Trump's crypto policies. CoinGlass data indicates that this rally resulted in $453.32 million in liquidations. The market's response suggests resilience amid political changes, but uncertainties remain regarding future volatility.
