Bitcoin hits an all-time high of US$123,218, continuing its uptrend since April. That added to the picture of a buoyant US market overnight, with stocks broadly ending up.

Local stocks opened up this morning. That includes DroneShield, up 4% by 11am, building on its 17% gain yesterday.
Stocks mentioned include Coinbase, DroneShield, Ondas, RedCat, Strategy
