Bitcoin eyes $103,000

The world's leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has shown a significant price increase of nearly 6% over the last 24 hours. BTC surged from the $97,500 zone on Thursday to reach the $102,927 level earlier today.

However, the BTC price has since rolled back slightly, currently trading at $102,485.

Bitcoin's price surge comes as the day of the newly elected US president's inauguration approaches - he will take office on January 20th, having promised to introduce positive changes to crypto regulation in the US and to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The crypto community anticipates an announcement regarding this matter on Monday, January 20th. Additionally, the US government now possesses nearly 70,000 BTC, confiscated from a Silk Road hacker, which the court has permitted to be sold. The community expects the US to utilize this BTC to begin creating the reserve.

Furthermore, spot Bitcoin ETFs have been experiencing large inflows. BlackRock has been leading this daily buying spree, accumulating approximately $528 million in BTC. The ARK 21Shares ETF has acquired $155.44 in Bitcoin, while Fidelity, Bitwise, and VanEck have collectively amassed roughly $13 million in BTC.
