The price of Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $24,085 today, capping a blockbuster week in the crypto markets.

Though the asset has settled back down to around $23,700, Bitcoin is still up 5% today and nearly 30% for the week.

Bitcoin, by far the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been maintaining momentum since October, but things accelerated significantly on Thursday when it rose by around $20,000 to $23,000 overnight.

This gave a boost to altcoins, and Litecoin in particular; the Bitcoin alternative has shot up over 50% this week.

Most Dogecoin Holders Didn't Buy the Elon Musk Top

Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency is far, far away from an all-time high price of $0.73 set in 2021. But for a majority of Dogecoin holders, there’s little reason to tuck their tail in between their legs. Some 77% of Dogecoin (DOGE) holders are in the money—meaning the cryptocurrency’s price is above what it was relative to when people bought it—according to IntoTheBlock.
