Bitcoin flew past the $15,000 mark this morning just a day after it passed $12,000 for the first time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cryptocurrency, which has staged a stunning rise from near-anonymity at the beginning of the year when its price was below $1,000, was up 9.66 per cent at $15,033.16 at the time of writing, according to Coindesk's aggregate index.<\/p>\n

"The rise of bitcoin appears to be unstoppable. Bitcoin bulls have driven the virtual currency beyond $14,500 for the first time," said Fiona Cincotta, senior market analyst at City Index.<\/p>\n

"Bitcoin has jumped 20 per cent over the last 24 hours with buyers of the virtual currency now eyeing up $20,000. Given the fact that both the Cboe and the CME exchanges will begin offering bitcoin futures this month, perhaps the prediction of $20,000 is not that far off? However, the start of futures trading also means the start of short trades on the bitcoin, which could increase volatility further."<\/p>\n

The surge in price has led some analysts to label it a bubble, though there are questions around just when it might pop.<\/p>\n

The cryptocurrency is famed for its volatility: yesterday, it dropped by about $500 in three minutes before jumping back up to where it started again.<\/p>\n

However, even JP Morgan, whose boss called bitcoin a fraud<\/a>, changed its tune on the digital currency this week with analysts saying the launch of bitcoin futures contracts by established exchanges could transform cryptocurrencies into an emerging asset class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cboe Global Markets will launch bitcoin futures contracts next week while CME Group's will go live on 18 December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But with more attention from investors comes a deeper focus from regulators.<\/p>\n

The Treasury has set out regulatory plans for bitcoin<\/a> in a bid to halt suspicious activity from taking place through the cryptocurrency's anonymous platform.<\/p>\n
