Bitcoin reaches $25,000, its highest price since June

Quick Take

  • The price of bitcoin rose above $25,000, the highest price for the cryptocurrency since June 2022.
  • Bitcoin is up almost 50% year-to-date, following recent gains and January’s extended rally. 

Bitcoin was trading at $25,108 by 11 a.m. EST, up 3.1% over the past day, according to TradingView data. That's its highest price since June 2022.

Lower volatility in stocks and bonds, lower oil prices, and a weakening U.S. dollar have benefited bitcoin, according to Noelle Acheson, former head of market insights at Genesis. It's also one of the most sensitive liquidity plays right now, she said.
