Bitcoin has reached its all-time high price.

The cryptocurrency is now worth upwards of $66,000, more than ever before.

It breaks through the records set in March and April of this year.

The record comes after a very positive October for bitcoin. It began the month around $43,000, and has gained almost half its price over again since.

That is amid the launch of a new exchange-traded fund that analysts had said could “supercharge” the price of the cryptocurrency.
