Bitcoin leaps to $7,000
On Tuesday, Bitcoin managed to jump, getting to a three-week maximum of $7,044.35. The most popular cryptocurrency is on track for five winning trading sessions out of the latest six.
The number one crypto asset has demonstrated a 20% rebound from its August 14 minimum. The currency pair BTC/USD hit $7,026.64, adding by about 4.5% on the Kraken exchange.
