Kryptowährungen: Bitcoin steigt über 80.000 Dollar und auf Drei-Monats-Hoch

Die Kryptowährung Bitcoin gewinnt wieder kräftig an Wert. Ein Treffen von US-Präsident Trump mit Krypto-Vertretern beflügelt deren Hoffnungen auf eine weitere Deregulierung der Branche.

Kryptowährungen: Bitcoin steigt über 80.000 Dollar und auf Drei-Monats-Hoch

Düsseldorf - Bitcoin reached its highest price in three months, trading over $80,000, on Tuesday. The leading cryptocurrency traded at $80,750 on the Bitstamp trading platform, marking a more than 2% increase from the previous day. Prices briefly surged to $81,255 before settling at the highest point since mid-May. Market gains were attributed to a meeting between US President Donald Trump and representatives of the cryptocurrency industry.

The summit boosted optimism about the government's commitment to the crypto sector, with Trump urging the passage of a bill regulating digital currencies. Investors expect less regulation in crypto trading, while recent events, such as the US government's plan to buy back more Treasury bonds, have pressured the dollar and lowered yields on government debt.

This, in turn, could increase borrowing costs for entrepreneurs and consumers, potentially discouraging investment in riskier assets like Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is still below its January high of nearly $98,000, as rising interest rates have dampened market sentiment.
