Bitcoin surpassed $4,100 on Sunday, August 13, 2017, reaching its latest milestone and setting yet another all-time high.<\/p>\n

The cryptocurrency reached as much as $4,137.28 during the session, according to figures provided by Coinmarketcap.<\/p>\n

By hitting this latest milestone, Bitcoin has surged more than 300% year-to-date, rising from less than $1,000 at the start of the year to break through key price levels of $2,000, $3,000 and, finally, $4,000.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin rose in the last week, mirroring gold’s climb amid a global selloff in stocks and bonds. Rising worries about North Korea’s nuclear threat have sent investors flocking to perceived safe-havens and alternative assets.<\/p>\n

Analysts have also noted increased investor interest, especially from institutional investors, after Bitcoin successfully survived an Aug. 1 split into Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, one of U.S. biggest investment funds Fidelity Investments launched a feature allowing customers to also view their Coinbase Bitcoin holdings. The initiative is a rare example of an established financial services company warming up to cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

The currency also got a boost from Goldman Sachs, which in a report released this week said it is harder for institutional investors to ignore cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

The digital currency has now quadrupled in 2017, and is up about 40 percent in August alone. Bitcoin’s market value is now around $68 billion, up about $10 billion in the last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
