    Bitcoin hits $40,000—briefly

    The first cryptocurrency made it past a psychologically powerful barrier on the heels of a weakening dollar and growing acceptance by mainstream investors and financial institutions

    Bitcoin briefly cracked $40,000 on Jan. 7, reaching a new all-time-high of $40,180.15 at 1:21 p.m. EST according to CoinGecko. It then plummeted nearly $3,000 before jumping back to its current $39,200.
