Bitcoin's wild ride toward $100,000 - REUTERS
Nov 21 (Reuters) - (This Nov. 21 story has been corrected to fix the Nov. 12, 2024 entry to remove reference to cryptocurrency market value hitting $3 trillion 'for the first time')
Bitcoin neared $100,000 for the first time on Thursday as the election of Republican Donald Trump as president fuelled expectations that his administration will create a friendly regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.
The world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency has more than doubled from this year's low of $38,505 and is up about 45% in the two weeks since Trump's sweeping election win.
