Investing.com - After a trough of $ 6,620 yesterday morning, Bitcoin has regained some ground, peaking at $ 7,415 in the afternoon, and remains above the $ 7,000 threshold on Tuesday morning, up more than 7% over 24 hours.

The newest way to bet on bitcoin will be available later on Sunday when futures in the wildly fluctuating cryptocurrency start trading.
