Eight of the top ten biggest bitcoin miners by market capitalization saw a dip in their November production tallies, while the price of the world's largest cryptocurrency ( BTC-USD ) continued to move higher, gaining about 40% over the course of November. Thanks to President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of crypto-friendly Paul Atkins as the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bitcoin's value traded above $100,000 earlier in December. Since then, investor excitement has see-sawed but the cryptocurrency continues to hover $100K level as of December 11 with latest inflation data matching expectations , furthering the likelihood of an interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week.
