Petcquin hit a new record high above $ 17750, up 8% from the previous day amid growing fears over the risk of investing in the highly volatile currency and speculation.

The astronomical rise of the encoded currency - more than 1,700% since the beginning of the year - raises fears of a bubble that could explode.

Rising more than 77% in December alone to its best monthly performance since December 2013.

In today's trading, the currency recorded $ 17,752.99 on the Luxembourg-based stock exchange.
