The value of bitcoin plunged last week, amid concerns that trading was going to be banned in South Korea. It then stabilised briefly, before plunging again.
The volatile cryptocurrency hit a record high when it passed $19,850 in mid-December, but then tumbled rapidly, falling to below $12,000 within days.
Its value has shifted unpredictably ever since, with frequent wild drops and recoveries. However, it now appears to have stabilised.
It is worth $10,989 as of Wednesday morning UK time, according to the Coinbase exchange.!
