The cryptocurrency leader has just crossed the threshold of 60,000 dollars again. The price of bitcoin showed renewed interest from investors on Sunday.

The price of bitcoin again exceeded 60,000 dollars (50,420 euros) on Sunday, confirming the renewed interest of investors for the best known cryptocurrency.
One bitcoin was trading for $59,450 on Sunday around 07:15 GMT on the Bitstamp platform after peaking at $60,979. On Saturday, its price reached 61,222.22 dollars, very close to the record of March 13 (61,781.83 dollars).
The value of bitcoin has risen 116% since its low of January 4 at 27,734 dollars, benefiting in particular from the announcement by the American president, Joe Biden, of a recovery plan of 1,900 billion dollars, which prompted investors to buy cryptocurrencies to protect themselves against a possible inflationary surge.
