The value of the bitcoin reached a record level of 62,818 dollars (52,793 euros) on Tuesday. This means that the old record of March, when the crypto coin was briefly worth more than $ 61,000, is out of the books.
The price of the bitcoin has been on the rise for some time and was again around the level of March last weekend. The advance has continued this week.
The cryptocurrency continues to flourish as more and more companies, including payment companies such as Mastercard, Visa and PayPal, are embracing digital currencies. For example, you can now purchase a Tesla with bitcoins.
Ether, the second-largest coin in market value after bitcoin, rose to a record value of over $ 2,200.
Experts previously stated that the price of digital currencies would also be given a boost by the substantial corona support package from US President Joe Biden. As a result, investors would dare to step into more speculative investments such as bitcoins again.
