Bitcoin, a virtual currency, has reached a record high in a day due to the election effect of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
As of 2:40 p.m. local time on the 6th, the price of each bitcoin was $75,487, up 7.42% from 24 hours ago, according to the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.
Bitcoin, which had been trading between $73,000 and $74,000 since breaking the $75,000 mark for the first time in its history the day before the U.S. presidential election, crossed the $75,000 mark again.
The price of the day has risen from the early $75,000 price range to the $75,600 range, surpassing the $76,000 mark.
At the same time, Ethereum, the second-largest market cap, jumped 9.02% and Solana jumped 11.97%.
Dogecoin, floated by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has publicly supported former President Trump, also jumped 11.53%.
The market is expecting deregulation of virtual currency as former President Trump has made a cryptocurrency-friendly move, such as saying he will make the U.S. the capital of virtual currency during the presidential election.
