Bitcoin crosses $71,000-mark -- its highest since March, as Trump campaign makes inroads



Bitcoin price crossed the $71,000-mark for the first time since June on Tuesday, backed by inflows into exchange-traded funds and speculation about the US Presidential Election next week.


The largest digital asset, Bitcoin was up 5 per cent at $71,020, or almost Rs 59,00,000. 


Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $73,750 in March and has jumped 70 per cent in 2024. 


Riding on its coattails, several other cryptocurrencies saw a rise in their prices, with Ethereum price going up by 5.5 per cent, Dogecoin 15 per cent, and Solana 4 per cent.
