Bitcoin's price surged above $95,000 just before year-end, with historic milestones anticipated in 2024, including the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs in the US and the completion of the "halving" in April. The upcoming US presidential election, with Trump as a crypto-friendly candidate, is expected to influence market dynamics significantly. Bitcoin reached the $100,000 mark for the first time in December 2024, marking a pivotal moment for investors amid potential profit-taking and regulatory changes.
