In early December, Bitcoin first exceeded $ 100,000, setting a historic maximum over ten years of cryptocurrency. This breakthrough was accompanied by a wave of optimism after political changes in the United States.
The significant growth of Bitcoin coincided with the announcement of the results of the US presidential election, where Donald Trump won. On the Bitcoin Election, it traded at $ 69,000, but after confirming the results, its price increased to $ 75,000.
The $ 100,000 record was reached after the key appointments in Trump's new administration. Among them is Paul Atkins, a former SEC member, for the position of chairman of this regulator. The possibility of creating the first position in the White House dedicated to cryptocurrency policy is also considered.
Trump has declared the US intention to make the planet's cryptocus, simplify regulatory rules for cryptocurrencies and accumulate Bitcoin strategic stock.
