‘Mesmerising’ Bitcoin closes on $10,000 milestone

Total cryptocurrency market tops $300 billion in market value

‘Mesmerising’ Bitcoin closes on $10,000 milestone

Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high early on Monday, setting sights on the $10,000 milestone just a day after topping $9,000 for the first time ever, MarketWatch reports.

As traders returned from the Thanksgiving weekend Monday morning, the cryptocurrency was up 3.1% at $9,616.74, according to CoinDesk, pulling back from a level of $9,732.76 earlier in the session. Bitcoin has been skyrocketing of late, surging almost 70% over the last month alone, and is now up almost 900% in 2017 so far.
