The cryptocurrency bitcoin fell, on Thursday, to $ 64,600, down from about $ 70,000 it made on Wednesday, in an unprecedented rise.
The world's number one digital currency has risen 1.5 percent over the past 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $1.218 trillion.
Bitcoin has risen by 12% this week, while it has risen at a rate of 50% in the last 30 days and at a rate of 120% since the beginning of the year.
Bitcoin ranged, during the last 24 hours, between $69.93 thousand and 64.6 thousand, which is the price that is being traded during the current hours.
And Bitcoin succeeded during trading, yesterday, Wednesday, to reach a new all-time high at $69.93 thousand.
The cryptocurrency managed to compensate for the top it lost last April, to rise by about 12, at 10:30 am New York time, to $ 67,680.
This performance comes in light of a bullish trend for the most prominent cryptocurrencies, and a day after the launch of the trading of the first investment fund in the largest cryptocurrency in the United States.
After years of delays and setbacks, the first Bitcoin-linked exchange-traded fund (ETF) appeared in the United States.
The emergence of the fund represented a watershed moment in the crypto industry. On its second trading day, the Proshares Bitcoin Strategy Fund, traded under the symbol "BITO", rose more than 3% to $42.15.
The most prominent cryptocurrencies witnessed simultaneous rises with what Bitcoin achieved today, as “Ethereum”, the second largest cryptocurrency, jumped 5.2%, surpassing $4,081.
This currency is less than 10% away from the peak it lost last May.
Bitcoin also showed strength, rising to $204.7, up by 8.4%.
The rise was not limited to cryptocurrencies, but also included the shares of its mining companies, mainly Marathon Digital Holdings and Riot Blockchain, which rose by more than 5% each.
