Bitcoin approaches new all-time high after surpassing $65,000
The price of bitcoin soared past $65,000 Monday, putting it within striking distance of its all-time high reached in November 2021.
The price of bitcoin soared past $65,000 Monday, putting it within striking distance of its all-time high reached in November 2021.
The cryptocurrency has gained 48% in 2024 and is approaching the intra-day all-time high of more than $68,000
The latest rally is being fueled by hopes that the launch of bitcoin exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, will expand the pool of bitcoin buyers.
These ETFs were approved in January by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a means of making it easier for investors to gain exposure to the price movements of bitcoin as part of a diversified portfolio without having to go through the sometimes onerous process of owning the digital coins themselves.
The ETFs have collectively already seen billions of dollars of investments.
