Bitcoin continued to rally in tandem with a rebound in global equities on Friday after a bruising selloff.

The original cryptocurrency rose as much as 5.3% to briefly top $62,600, extending gains from Thursday. The moves marked a turnaround from earlier this week when the market posted its steepest decline since the days of FTX’s collapse in 2022. Second-ranked Ether climbed as much as 6%.
