Bitcoin investors had a scare last night when the value of the popular cryptocurrency plummeted 87 per cent. 9News

The price quickly returned to nearly its original value, with Binance admitting an error had occurred."One of our institutional traders indicated to us that they had a bug in their trading algorithm, which appears to have caused the sell-off," the company said in a statement to Markets Insider.

"Given the price momentum we are seeing on the back of bitcoin's ETF, we believe that Bitcoin can easily go all the way to by the end of this year," Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst with AvaTrade, said in a report this week.

Victoria records 2,232 new COVID-19 cases as it hits 70 per cent double vaccination targetA further 2,232 local COVID-19 cases and 12 deaths have been reported in Victoria as Melbourne prepares for the end of its sixth lockdown.
