Bitcoin (BTC) Price Soars past $31.3K to Hit One-Year High

Most other major cryptos joined bitcoin’s upswing. Ether, the second largest crypto in market value, was recently up more than 1.6% to change hands at $1,914. Earlier this week, ETH regained the $1,900 threshold for the first time since early June. Litecoin and DOT, the token of smart contracts platform Polkadot, were recently up more than 5%. AVAX, the native crypto of the Avalanche blockchain, rose nearly as much.
