The Bitcoin cryptocurrency has set a new historical record, breaking the 100 000 USD mark, “MIR 24” reports with reference to Binance.

The previous record high was set just a few weeks ago, when Bitcoin reached 97 000 USD. Experts attribute this rapid growth to a number of factors, including Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election and the growing interest of institutional investors in cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin has long ceased to be just a digital currency. Today, it is a full-fledged asset that can be used for investments, payments, and even as a means of saving.
