Bitcoin had a positive 24 hours, venturing above $100,000 a few times though it hasn’t stuck yet. Analysts seem skeptical about reclaiming the six-figure price tag and expect sideways action for some weeks, but will Trump’s inauguration change that? Elsewhere, the newly appointed US Senate Banking Committee chair said that a crypto framework will be a priority, the US government has said the funds from a 2016 hack should go back to Bitfinex, outraging some users, and according to a survey, 60% of crypto investors are young, educated and invest under $10K.
