Bitcoin hovers near $100,000 as post-election highs continue. Here's what to know.

Bitcoin topped $98,000 for the first time Thursday, extending a streak of almost daily all-time highs since the U.S. presidential election. The cryptocurrency has rocketed more than 40% in just two weeks.

Now, bitcoin is at the doorstep of $100,000 and investors do not appear to be fazed by gravity or any cautionary tales of the cryptocurrencies history of volatility.

Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more "crypto-friendly" than the outgoing Biden administration.
