On Nov. 30, Bitcoin breached its previous all-time high of $19,783, set during the 2017 bull run, trading at a peak of around $19,850. 

  • After days of trading at $18,000 levels and briefly flirting with a new all-time high, Bitcoin reached values in the range of $19,850 on the evening of Nov. 30
  • The new ATH caps off a remarkable year for Bitcoin in terms of price, which started the year at $7,203 -- representing roughly 175% in growth YTD
  • Bitcoin’s rally has come amidst heavy institutional and professional inflow, which includes the likes of billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller
  • Major companies have also invested in Bitcoin, such as Microstrategy's $426 million capital allocation and Square's $50 million investment, both of which gained a lot of media attention
  • PayPal’s support for cryptocurrencies has also excited investors for its adoption potential, as it exposed cryptocurrencies to a user base of approximately 270 million
  • The rally has also spurred once-critic JPMorgan Chase to say that “Bitcoin could double or triple its value”
