KUALA LUMPUR: News on the latest moves on the stock and crypto markets.
Bitcoin raced at break-neck speed to hit ninety-nine thousand US dollars on Thursday, on bets that Donald Trump will appoint pro-crypto officials to key positions in his administration.
It was trading at four hundred thirty-eight thousand eleven ringgit on Coinbase and four hundred nineteen thousand eight hundred forty-nine ringgit on Luno earlier.
Both Ethereum and Solana climbed higher, rising to fourteen thousand two hundred fifty-five ringgit and one thousand ninety-nine ringgit respectively.
Meanwhile, on the stock market, Bursa Malaysia's key index hung by a thread to positive territory after falling below the one thousand-five hundred ninety level yesterday.
