Bitcoin is set to finish the year with a bang, having surged more than 300 per cent in 2020.
The world's most popular cryptocurrency added 3 per cent yesterday to $28,599 (£21,014), having broken through the $20,000 mark for the first time in mid-December.
It is a rapid turnaround for bitcoin, which has been branded a fad, is distrusted by its critics and is viewed with scepticism across the financial establishment.
