Bitcoin exceeds 2017 peak to hit record high of almost $20,000
Bitcoin rallied to a new record high on Wednesday, smashing through its 2017 peak, as rising interest from professional investors helped prices recover from a deep trough. The cryptocurrency traded as high as $19,510 after rushing 75 per cent higher in the past three months and adding 400 per cent since the heavy drop in riskier assets in March this year.
