Bitcoin crossed the coveted $100,000 mark on Thursday amid increased optimism over friendly regulations under President-elect Donald Trump, while Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also compared the crypto to gold.

Bitcoin rose 5.9% to a record high of $101,438.9 in Asian hours. The $100,000 level is viewed as psychologically important for Bitcoin, and could herald more strength in the crypto.

Gains in the world’s biggest cryptocurrency came as Trump chose Paul Atkins to lead the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Atkins is a former SEC Commissioner and is largely pro-crypto.

Traders cheered Atkins’ nomination, given that he will replace incumbent SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Gensler has led a high-profile crackdown against crypto over the past two years.

I remember when people thought it was just a fad. If you’re holding some BTC, this must feel like hitting the jackpot. I think this milestone shows how much trust and momentum crypto has built over the years. But it’s also a reminder that the market can be super unpredictable, so I’m staying cautious.If you’re considering jumping in, it’s good to explore platforms. I’ve been using MEXC Exchange Referral Code, and it’s been smooth for trading. Easy interface and lots of options. Whether you're a seasoned investor or new to this, it’s always good to research and only invest what you can afford to lose.
