On Tuesday afternoon, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, achieved an impressive milestone by reaching an all-time high price of $69,170.63.
The $69,170.63 rise surpasses the previous record set in November 2021 when it reached $68,999.99.

Concerns about potential global drops in interest rates have prompted serious consideration of these investment options.
Also, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT.O) received a substantial inflow of funds.
