Bitcoin briefly reached a record high of $70,000 in volatile trading, driven by investor demand for new crypto products and expectations of lower global interest rates. The rally was also supported by an upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain platform and an upcoming bitcoin "halving" event in April. However, the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult to predict their behavior, with sudden plunges of 10-20% expected. Institutional investors are now getting involved, committing long-term money that could help sustain the rally. The optimism has also extended to other digital tokens, such as Ether.
