Bitcoin blows past $19,000 for the first time since FTX hit the fan
Bitcoin surpassed $19,000 for the first time since Nov. 8, when FTX had a tentative deal to sell to Binance.
The biggest cryptocurrency rose more than 8% over the past day. Traditional markets also rallied after reports that inflation in the U.S. slowed in December.
