On May 30, at around 19:00 Moscow time, the BTC cryptocurrency rate for the first time since May 2018 exceeded the level of $ 9,000. Reaching a new maximum, Bitcoin literally lost $ 400 in just a few minutes.
At the BitMEX site, the maximum BTC price indicator was recorded at $ 9,111, at the Coinbase exchange at $ 9,093, at the Binance trading platform at $ 9,074, and at Bitstamp at $ 9,094. So, we can say that over the last week the rate has increased by approximately 14%.
Altcoins also showed a slight increase. For example, the rate of Ethereum, the largest altcoin in terms of market capitalization, increased on May 30 by more than 2%. Over the week, the ETH rate has grown by more than 16% The Ripple coin has been growing since May 27, the XRP price has risen by more than 20% over the past week.
It should be noted altcoin Bitcoin SV. On May 29, the Bitcoin SV rate began to move rapidly upwards, in just a few hours the cost increased by 50%, reaching $ 180, after which the rate rose even more – to $ 240. The most active buyers of Bitcoin SV are Asian traders, in particular, residents of South Korea. Most of the trading with this coin falls on such trading platforms as OKEx, Huobi and Upbit. Dovi Van, co-founder of Primitive Ventures, explained that the cause of the pampas was the fake news that Craig Wright, who calls himself Satoshi Nakamoto, transferred 50,000 coins from the largest BTC wallet to the Binance exchange. This allegedly confirms that Wright is the real Satoshi, which means Binance will return Bitcoin SV to the site and officially apologize.
