Bitcoin Surpasses $100K as Inflation Continues to Ease

Bitcoin has recorded impressive gains over the past 24 hours, officially surpassing the $100,000 mark. The rally came after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released new inflation data, showing that consumer prices rose as expected in December, while core inflation continued to decline.
