The surging price of the cryptocurrency bitcoin showed little sign of letting up on Friday, carving out a fresh all-time high even as stocks took a breather from a steep selloff earlier this week.

Bitcoin rocketed past the $3,000 mark in early August and gained momentum this week as U.S. stocks pulled back from their own records amid concern over saber-rattling between the U.S. and North Korea. While U.S. stocks edged higher Friday, bitcoin maintained its upward momentum.
