#investment #finance - Price of Bitcoin surpasses $100k for first time | BBC News

5 December 2024

The price of Bitcoin has for the first time broken past the $100,000 mark, hitting a new record high. The value of the world's biggest cryptocurrency has been boosted by hopes US President-elect Donald Trump will adopt crypto-friendly policies. The milestone was reached hours after Trump said he would nominate former Securities and Exchange Commission commissioner Paul Atkins to run the Wall Street regulator. Atkins is seen as being far more pro-cryptocurrency than the current head of the SEC, Gary Gensler.

#finance #investment - South Korea President Yoon Faces Impeachment; France No-Confidence Vote | Bloomberg The Pulse 12/04

4 December 2024

South Korean opposition lawmakers are calling for President Yoon Suk Yeol to be impeached after he plunged the nation into a political crisis by briefly imposing martial law. In an exclusive interview with BTV, BOK Governor Rhee Chang-yong said he expected the impact from the turmoil to be short-lived, and said it wasn't likely to force rate cuts. In Europe, the French government faces a no-confidence vote late afternoon Wednesday. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party plan to support the movement, which could pass with the backing of a left-wing coalition. President Macron urged French to reject the motion that could topple the government and cause political turmoil.
