Bitcoin hits six-month high

Bitcoin, a digital asset and cryptocurrency, has risen to a six-month high as investors gravitate back to more riskier assets.

Over the last 24 hours, the price of bitcoin has climbed to a new six-month-high, reaching roughly $24,586 on Thursday.

The asset is at its highest levels since last August and is now up almost 50% in 2023, but remains well off its late-2021 high of $68,990.

Over the last month, bitcoin is up around 16%, after rising approximately 46% the last three months.

Meanwhile, memecoins were also mixed, with Dogecoin gaining 4% and Shiba Inu just below flat.
