Bitcoin hits all-time high, but few agree on actual price level
Bitcoin traders around the world all agree that a record price was reached recently, but there's no consensus on what that price level actually was.
According to Refinitiv, the all-time high for bitcoin is $19,510. CoinDesk says it was $19,921. And according to a new data provider called Messari, the all-time high was $19,931. Looking at other sites -- even Tickeron -- show different highs for the cryptocurrency. So what's going on?
The issue is that cryptocurrencies trade on independent exchanges, and each of these exchanges have their own data systems and feeds. While a few exchanges are reliable and even regulated, others operate a bit more in the shadows with unverifiable trading volumes and data feeds that are not transparent.
Solutions to this issue may be in the offing. S&P Dow Jones indices has indicated it will construct cryptocurrency indexes, and other companies are jumping in to try and streamline data publication. In the meantime, cryptocurrencies are back in the spotlight, and below Tickeron's artificial intelligence tools compare Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. Time to trade?
