SINGAPORE/HONG KONG — Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, cracked the $100,000 mark for the first time on Thursday, marking a dramatic reversal in fortunes following a digital assets crash a few years ago and in anticipation of pro-crypto policies from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
The threshold was breached a day after Trump said he would nominate Paul Atkins, seen as a crypto advocate, to run the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
