Bitcoin, a virtual currency that has been on a high since President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, has hit a new record high in six days.
On the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, the price per unit of Bitcoin was trading at $94,076 as of 4:05 p.m. ET, up 4.84% from the previous day.
As a result, Bitcoin has surpassed the all-time high of $93,400 recorded on the 13th in six days, entering the $94,000 mark for the first time in history.
In the meantime, Bitcoin has fallen every time geopolitical unrest grows, but prices have continued to rise despite rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with Russian President Putin referring to the use of nuclear weapons.
"Like gold, virtual currency assets are perceived by many investors as a 'non-conceivable' long-term decentralization of geopolitical uncertainty," U.S. economic media CNBC said.
