Bitcoin touched a fresh all-time high on Monday as the digital currency continued to gain favor with investors. The virtual currency rose to $750 on Mt. Gox exchange Monday afternoon, up 42 percent from Sunday’s close and up 107 percent from a week earlier. Its latest gains come as the potential for regulation hangs over the market.
