It was trading at $54,726 at roughly 4 a.m. ET on Thursday. A week ago the price of bitcoin was around $43,000, while at the start of the year one bitcoin could be bought for around $29,000. The latest bitcoin rally comes despite the continued threat of regulatory crackdowns from governments around the world and concerns about its enormous environmental footprint. U.S. regulatory fears have eased this week after both Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and SEC Chair Gary Gensler said they have no plans to impose restrictions on cryptocurrency trading. "This recent rally contrasts the stock market with assets like stocks, bonds and gold having a period of angst over high inflation and slowing economic growth," said Freddie Evans, a sales trader at the U.K.-based digital asset broker GlobalBlock, in a statement Wednesday. "This recent bitcoin advance could be the repeat of history following the Chinese ban on crypto activities," he added. Bitcoin isn't the only cryptocurrency surging this year. Elsewhere, ether's price has more than tripled from around $1,000 a coin at the start of the year, to more than $3,000 a coin on Thursday.
