After a surge of 15% in three sessions, the price of bitcoin jumped to more than 25,000 dollars on Thursday, February 16, 2023. Pressure from American regulators is not damping investors' appetite for cryptocurrency.

The price of bitcoin rose to $25,249, its first foray above the symbolic threshold of 25,000 points since August, and a peak since last June. With historic records for the Paris and London markets, less gloomy prospects for the global economy are increasing investor appetite and benefiting the cryptocurrency market and stock exchanges. The price of bitcoin has increased by more than 50% since the start of the year, although it is still nearly three times lower than at its all-time high, at 68,992 dollars in November 2021. Noted that the other major cryptoassets, namely ether, are also rising.
