A heady combination of hope and disappointment has sent Bitcoin on a wild ride this week as cryptocurrency owners pin their hopes on the new Trump administration's ability to boost the value of their holdings.
After reaching an all-time high of $109,000 early Monday morning, the price of Bitcoin fell 9% to $100,000 after the Trump administration failed to announce a major crypto policy change during his first full day in office. A document released by the Trump administration shortly after the inauguration outlining the president's top priorities also omitted any mention of crypto or digital assets. And investors were further disappointed that a crypto-related executive order was not among the 26 Trump signed immediately following the inauguration.
