Bitcoin reaches new record high above US$100,000

The articles suggest a significant correlation between Donald Trump's nomination of Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the surge in the price of Bitcoin. According to the articles, the price of Bitcoin broke past the $100,000 mark, reaching a new record high of $103,800, hours after Trump's announcement. This is not a new trend, as Bitcoin has more than doubled in value this year, and has risen over 50% since Trump won the presidential election.
