Key crypto assets leap
On Friday, Bitcoin as well as key crypto assets managed to ascend, thus finding themselves on track for back-to-back winning trading marathons.
Having trended lower for most of the trading week, the world’s number one crypto asset, Bitcoin has finally abandoned its short-term trading band, grasping a two-week maximum of $6,769.35. The currency pair BTC/USD hit $6,714.53 on the Kraken exchange, adding 5.3%.
Market experts at FX Pro told that a number of material projects had emitted optimism among crypto enthusiasts. Several factors contributed to this surge. Ripple’s CEO dropped a hint about the launch of a fresh product built around xRapid’s XRP coin already in October. What’s more, the representative told that users will be able to access the biggest Asian cash remittance market. Those residing in Malaysia, Vietnam, Sri-Lanka, and Indonesia will be able to access it.
The broad-based surge contributed $25 billion to the value of all crypto assets on Friday. As a matter of fact, it currently accounts for $227 billion.
