[Breaking News]Bitcoin Finally Hits $100,000..."126% Rise Rate Record at 2024"
Bitcoin(BTC) surpassed the "$100,000 mark" at 11:40 a.m. on Dec. 5.

Bitcoin, which had been on the rise in recent months, went into a long sideways trend for about a month after topping $90,000 on Nov. 12.

The reason for Bitcoin's $100,000 mark on Dec. 5 is interpreted as buying due to remarks by key figures that recognize Bitcoin. Jerome Powell, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve(Fed), recognized Bitcoin as an investment asset similar to gold in his official appearance on Dec. 4, and Russian President Putin also hinted at international trade through Bitcoin.

Bitcoin, which surpassed $99,000 on the morning of Dec. 5, crossed the $98,000 mark for several hours before surpassing $100,000 due to rapid buying.

This marks the rise of Bitcoin this year by about 126%. Bitcoin was priced at $44,000 on January 1.

Bitcoin is trading at about $11,137 as of 11:50 a.m at CoinMarketCap.
