Bitcoin Returns Above $60K as Ether Surges to Highest Level in Over a Month

Bitcoin's price surged over 8% this week to move back above $60,000. This comes after it had fallen below that mark earlier in the month.

Ethereum, on the other hand, has been steadily climbing and reached its highest level in over a month with a nearly 13% increase. However, both Bitcoin and Ethereum have taken significant hits this year, with Bitcoin down around 28% and Ethereum roughly 40% below their record highs.

XRP, owned by Ripple, was one of the largest cryptocurrencies when this series began but has since fallen behind. The chart showing the three currencies together illustrates their different pricing histories.
