Bitcoin (BTC) Price Hits $100,000 in Canada

Bitcoin is already trading at $100,000...in Canada

The price of Bitcoin has surpassed C$100,000 for the first time, according to data provided by the Kraken exchange.

The Canadian dollar recently gave up some ground against its US counterpart following a 50-basis point rate cut implemented by the Bank of Canada on Oct. 23. At press time, it is trading at 72 cents.

The cryptocurrency's previous lifetime peak of $98,462 was logged back in March.

The leading cryptocurrency is yet to reach a new all-time high in US dollars. Earlier today, it climbed to a new peak of $72,692 on the Bitstamp exchange. However, it is still 1.5% away from reaching a new all-time high.

Bitcoin hit its current peak of $73,737 due to exuberance surrounding the success of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in early 2024.
