A “boring” level?
Bitcoin embraced the new year on a positive note as the crypto registered a recovery that catapulted it to the $100,000 mark.
Zhao, who is also the founder of Binance, suggested that the top crypto assets could do better and surpass the $100,000 price point.
“100k is boring, right?” Zhao said in a post, responding to Bitcoin’s recovery.
Investors have seen Bitcoin regain its lost glory after reaching $100,000 after the digital asset fell to the key level on December 19 and remained below $100,000 for quite some time before gathering momentum to propel it to this milestone level.
