As of December 5, 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) has reached a significant milestone, surpassing $100,000 for the first time. The current price is approximately $102,620, reflecting a substantial increase from previous levels.
This surge is attributed to investor optimism following President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of crypto advocate Paul Atkins to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Atkins’ appointment is anticipated to foster a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, contributing to Bitcoin’s recent rally.
