The token is up over 10% this month, contrasting with an average 5.9% decline in September during the past decade, data compiled by Bloomberg show. An index of smaller coins has climbed more than 20%, a sign of looser financial conditions enlivening riskier segments of the crypto market.

The cryptocurrency rose as much as 2% on Friday, changing hands at $65,721 as of 8:40 p.m. in New York. It’s up 56% in 2024, helped by inflows into US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, but off the record of $73,798 hit in March.
