Bitcoin price – LIVE: Cryptocurrency value soars to new all-time high

Bitcoin has experienced a remarkable price resurgence in recent months, rising to a record all-time high after more than two years of sliding prices.

The latest rally of the notoriously volatile cryptocurrency comes amid a flurry of institutional investment news, which has taken btc above $34,000 (£25,000). A flash crash saw a sudden market cool off on Monday, though some analysts still predict positive movement in 2021.

Other major cryptocurrencies – including Ethereum (ether) and bitcoin cash – are also climbing in value, though regulatory issues mean Ripple (XRP) has bucked the trend and crashed spectacularly.
