Bitcoin's price continues to climb, nearing the $75,000 threshold for the first time in four weeks.
The cryptocurrency has been resilient despite its volatility, with some investors arguing that it is a stable store of value.
Ether, on the other hand, has seen a significant increase in price, jumping over 12% to its highest level since January. However, both cryptocurrencies are still down significantly from their record highs, with bitcoin currently trading at around 41% below its peak in October 2025 and ether at around 52% below its peak in August 2025.
An index has been created to track the performance of these two cryptocurrencies along with XRP, which was one of the largest cryptocurrencies when this series began. The index shows that bitcoin's price has increased the most since November 9, 2017, but all three have held the top spot at some point.
