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.

In India, platforms such as CoinDCX, CoinSwitch, Mudrex and Binance facilitate trading in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
