Bitcoin briefly jumped above $114,000 and then $115,000 on Friday, marking its highest level on record and underscoring the cryptocurrency’s renewed momentum. The rapid advance came within minutes during afternoon trading on 22 August, highlighting vigorous demand in a market that has already logged strong gains this year. The fresh milestone extends Bitcoin’s rebound from the industry turbulence of prior years and may further fuel interest from both retail speculators and institutional investors. Market observers will watch whether the token can hold the $115,000 level and how regulators and central banks respond to the latest bout of digital-asset exuberance.
