Bitcoin touches new heights, Ethereum to peak.
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have gained new landmarks by toughing new heights of $68,564 and $4,825 respectively.
Bitcoin on Tuesday, November 9, opened trading at an all-time high of $68,564 (roughly Rs. 50.5 lakh). In India, Bitcoin is worth even more, trading at $72,915 (roughly Rs. 53.9 lakh) per token after the world’s oldest cryptocurrency gained 3.37 percent in value to reach its historic high.
Earlier, in October, the cryptocurrency had crossed the milestone of $67,000 (roughly Rs. 49.5 lakh) just when the first Bitcoin Exchange Trade Fund (ETF) debuted at the New York Stock Exchange. This is not the only good news for the day for crypto investors though.

“Importantly, the uptick doesn’t seem to be leverage-driven but rather results from the increased demand on the spot market where there’s currently very little sell-side liquidity,” Morch said in an emailed note Monday.
Following the Bitcoin, Ether also rose in value to reach an all-time high of $4,811 (roughly Rs. 3.5 lakh). Ether is trading at $5,179 (roughly Rs. 3.83 lakh) in India. The world’s second most-valued crypto coin gained 1.82 percent in the last 24 hours, breaching the $4,700 (roughly Rs. 3.47 lakh)-mark for the first time in history.
Ether is the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. In the crypto market, the terms ether and ethereum are often interchangeable when referring to the currency.
