Bitcoin has jumped above $7,000, continuing a stunning comeback for the cryptocurrency in 2019.
The virtual currency climbed close to $7,600 on Sunday, according to industry website CoinDesk. It’s since pared gains, but is still holding above that $7,000 level.
It marks yet another move higher for the world’s most-valuable cryptocurrency, which is now up nearly 90% since the start of the year.
That’s despite negative headlines surrounding bitcoin exchange Bitfinex, whose parent company has been hit with a probe in New York, and Binance, which was hacked in a heist that saw more than $40 million in bitcoin stolen.
