In recent days Bitcoin has skyrocketed like never before; something people haven’t seen in several months. There were also some Cryptocurrencies of smaller companies that reached higher numbers as well. This was all set off by a buyer who is at this moment unknown. 

The Asian trading has seen a 20% increase in with their bitcoin rates. Their currency has reached an astonishing amount as high as $5,000. It is reported that it hasn’t been this high since November of 2018. This past Tuesday by noon the increase lowered to about 16% leaving the Bitcoin currency at $4,800; which is still higher than the currency rate was during April of 2018.

Back in 2017, there were many retail investors putting their money on the Bitcoin currency; raising the amount of currency to a high of $20,000. However, last year there was a collapse of about three quarters that amount with only smaller business firms taking hits at the currencies. The recent gain of the skyrocket today most likely had a lot to do with various exchanges that are widespread across the U.S, including Kraken and Luxembourg’s Bit stamp, and Coin base. These two companies combined, triggered an order that was worth about $100 million.

Out of these three cryptocurrency companies are least one of them made an order that was worth about 20,000 BTC. Spread out, each hour from each company exchange, 7,000 BTC was ordered.

A Mystery

Regardless of the big changes, it was still difficult to determine why there was as an order as large as it was. Generally, the markets are known for being quite calm, ranging between amounts of $3,300 to $4,200.

Usually, the larger organizations remain on the sidelines. This is mainly because of the security breaches that have occurred in the past when it comes to digital coins getting compromised.

With the bitcoin market for the U.S. failing since given an opportunity for an equal chance in the market, Cboe Global Markets recently announced that they will no longer continue bitcoin futures contract. This is as the result of the unsuccessful market since 2017. However, CME Group Inc. has announced that they will continue their futures product launching.

Altcoins Skyrocket

While Altcoins might be considered conventional, and uncommon to experience in skyrocketing in cryptocurrency trades, there has been a huge increase in the bitcoin purchases overall for the company. During the surge, at least 6 million trades an hour occurred. This is about four times the amount that is normally experienced within a conventional company within the Asian exchanges. While Altcoins are a smaller form of cryptocurrency, people have been trading with this currency in higher amounts which is what caused the most recent 6 million trade surge. Two of the top coins, Ripple’s XRP and Ethereum, surged about 10% higher than they normally would.

Bitcoin is typically the leader with altcoin following right behind, according to source Mat Greenspan, an analyst for eToro of Israel. Today, Bitcoin still remains in the driver’s seat for the leading coin in cryptocurrency.
