The digital currency Bitcoin has continued its impressive rise on Monday, gaining more than 2.7%. As a result, it reached a new historical maximum of over 109 thousand dollars, approaching the level of 110 thousand dollars. This increase occurred just a few hours before the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.
"This impressive rise in Bitcoin prices may be related to expectations of new policies under the new administrative leadership," noted a financial analyst.
He also added: "Perhaps, Bitcoin is becoming an alternative investment to traditional currencies and securities at a time when markets are in a state of instability due to political events."
