Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, breached the $100,000 milestone on 17 December, reaching a record high of $108,309, thanks to US President-elect Donald Trump's support for digital assets.
Trump, a proponent of a friendly regulatory environment for digital assets, has also endorsed the idea of a strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.
Although the cryptocurrency has lost some of its gains since then, the rally has renewed investor interest in crypto trading. In India, platforms such as CoinDCX, CoinSwitch, Mudrex and Binance facilitate trading in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Is the updated proof-of-reserve easily available? Is the exchange financially healthy? What other businesses does the exchange run? Is the exchange registered with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)? Does it have robust KYC and AML practices?
