Bitcoin touched a high of USD4,485 in early European turnover pushing the digital currencies market value to just over $73 billion, just over half of the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization.

Bitcoin Makes its Bond Market Debut

A novel new approach to fund raising was announced by Japanese information provider Fisco Ltd using Bitcoin as the underlying currency. In a test case, a unit of the company issued three-year debt worth 200 BTC to another firm within the Fisco organization. According to a Bloomberg report the bond was designed like a regular corporate note to meet regulatory requirement. The note carries a three percent coupon and will repay the 200 bitcoins on maturity.
