Bitcoin held broadly steady Friday, after a volatile stretch in which the digital currency set a series of new highs.

The largest cryptocurrency by market value recently traded at about $87,892, up less than 0.4% from its late-Thursday level, according to CoinDesk data.

Crypto-related stocks, such as exchange Coinbase Global and bitcoin-buying software-intelligence company MicroStrategy, were muted.

Traders are betting on a wave of deregulation and crypto-friendly policies after Donald Trump reclaimed the White House last week. Dozens of Congressional candidates supported by crypto super PACs have won their races, further fueling bitcoin's momentum.
