The cost of bitcoin for the first time in history exceeded $ 60,000
The most popular cryptocurrency continues to grow steadily in value. In the middle of last month, the price of one bitcoin for the first time in history exceeded $ 50 thousand, and today a new mark of $ 60 thousand has been exceeded—the data of the Coindesk platform evidence this. As of 15:25 GMT, the cost of one bitcoin was $ 60,185.
During the day, bitcoin’s price is not the first time exceeding the $ 60 thousand mark, so the cryptocurrency value may continue to increase in the future. This could lead to an increase in this cryptocurrency’s capitalization, the volume of which has already exceeded $ 1 trillion.
It is worth noting that the most popular cryptocurrency cost began to grow back in March last year when about $ 4.9 thousand was given for one bitcoin. The interest from large companies that showed interest in bitcoin affects the long-term growth. For example, Tesla, an electric car company, has invested $ 1.5 billion in bitcoin.
It is also important that the success of Bitcoin contributes to the growth of other cryptocurrencies, which can be clearly seen on the chart of the CoinMarketCup platform, which calculates the average cost of cryptocurrencies according to the data of several exchanges. Ethereum has risen in price by more than 6% for the same day, and in a week, it has grown by almost 20%.
