Bitcoin: The Path to Regulation
In March 2017, Bitcoin, the controversial yet potentially revolutionary cryptocurrency that was created in 2009, hit a record high value of $1,290 compared to a low of $200 in 2015.

It has also fostered a significant interest in the technology behind Bitcoin — blockchain, the secure distributed ledger of digital events — for broader applications within the financial services industry, with many companies actively engaging in blockchain initiatives.
