LIVEBitcoin (BTC) has set another all-time trading high this morning as it has topped the $72,000 level for the first time ever, bringing the world’s oldest cryptocurrency even closer to doubling in price during just the first few months of 2024.
Today’s gains bring bitcoin’s total year-to-date return to more than 70%, with a better than 4% gain just over the last 24 hours.
Last week, BTC broke through its previous all-time intraday trading high of $68,990, before ending the week right around $68,000.
In addition, Ethereum (ETH) has been gaining too. ETH is up more than 3% over the past 24 hours as well. The leading altcoin is now worth more than $4,000, which is a significant gain, but still shy of its pre-crypto winter high of more than $4,700, which was set in November 2021
