Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark for the first time in history, reaching $102,700 on the evening of December 13, 2024. This historic growth is explained by a combination of factors, including favorable forecasts following the re-election of Donald Trump, a supporter of cryptocurrencies, and the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the USA, which attracted significant institutional investments. The total market capitalization of Bitcoin exceeded $2 trillion, and experts predict further growth to $125,000 by the end of the year.
The growth is also supported by plans to liberalize cryptocurrency regulation in the USA, which opens up new opportunities for industry development and capital attraction. Many analysts believe that this level will trigger a new altseason and broader recognition of cryptocurrencies as an investment asset.
