      <title>Bitcoin tops $122,000 for first time</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330424223/bitcoin-tops-122000-for-first-time</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bitcoin crossed the $122,000 level for the first time on Monday, marking a major milestone for the world’s largest cryptocurrency as investors bet on long-sought policy wins for the industry this week.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starting on Monday, the US House of Representatives will debate a series of bills to provide the digital asset industry with the nation’s regulatory framework it has long demanded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those demands have resonated with US President Donald Trump, who has called himself the “crypto president” and urged policymakers to revamp rules in favor of the industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Expectations of further tailwinds for the industry helped propel bitcoin BTC= to yet another record high of $121,207.55 in the Asian session on Monday. It last traded 1.5% higher at $120,856.34.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The surge in bitcoin, which is up 29% for the year thus far, has sparked a broader rally across other cryptocurrencies over the past few weeks even in the face of Trump’s chaotic tariffs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ether ETH=, the second-largest token, scaled an over five-month top of $3,048.23 on Monday and last stood at $3,036.24.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sector’s total market value has swelled to about $3.78 trillion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.&lt;/p&gt;
