Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency market leader, hit a new record high in a day as it continued its high streak.
At 12:30 p.m. U.S. time on the 16th, the price of one bitcoin traded on Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, was traded at $107,762 and 153.97 million won, up 3.95% from 24 hours ago.
This is a new record high of $106,500 recorded the previous day, and it is analyzed that Trump's mention of Bitcoin's strategic reserve fund was a positive factor.
Asked over the weekend if the U.S. plans to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve fund, such as an oil reserve fund, Trump said "yes," in an interview with economic broadcaster CNBC.
"We're going to do something great when it comes to virtual currency," he said, adding that China or any other country should not take the lead first.
