Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have gained significant attention as investors speculate that the forthcoming Trump administration will create a more favorable regulatory landscape, thereby enhancing optimism regarding these alternative currencies.
Bitcoin reached an unprecedented peak exceeding $106,000 on Monday, following remarks from President-elect Donald Trump indicating his intention to establish a U.S. bitcoin strategic reserve akin to the existing strategic oil reserve, thereby invigorating the optimism among cryptocurrency advocates.
As the largest and most recognized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin achieved a high of $106,533 and was last recorded at an increase of 3.1%, trading at $104,493 as of 0857 GMT. Meanwhile, the smaller cryptocurrency ether experienced a rise of 1.2%, reaching $3,952.
“We are currently in uncharted territory,” remarked Tony Sycamore, an analyst at IG. “The market’s next target is $110,000. The anticipated pullback that many expected did not materialize, particularly in light of this recent news.”
Investor confidence was further bolstered by MicroStrategy’s inclusion in the tech-focused Nasdaq 100 index, which is expected to attract additional investments for the software company that has transitioned into a bitcoin purchaser.
The spotlight on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has intensified as investors speculate that the forthcoming Trump administration will foster a more favorable regulatory landscape, enhancing the overall sentiment surrounding alternative currencies. Bitcoin has surged by 192% this year.
