Bitcoin price up as crypto market rally continues

price of Bitcoin

It’s been a strong start to the week in the crypto markets, with the price of Bitcoin again rising above $31,000 after nine weeks of losses. The leading cryptocurrency has rallied more than three per cent at time this morning. Can it sustain the momentum?

Other major cryptocurrencies have performed even better, albeit having experienced more volatility over recent weeks. Cardano has done particularly well, rising 25 per cent over the past 24 hours. The price of Ethereum is currently up three per cent since this time yesterday to just below $2k.

The uptick across the crypto markets comes amid rising optimism in Asian markets, as Coronavirus cases in China fell to less than 100 for the first time since early March. The news has driven news of a wider economic recovery, with markets largely opening higher.

Would you like to help spread the adoption and education of Bitcoin in the UK and even stack some Sats while you’re doing it? Well, now you can!

The Bitcoin Pioneers community, backed by Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group, was created to introduce Bitcoin to a mainstream audience in a meaningful way and now has members right across the UK.

We share tips, stories and ideas on how to encourage others to try Bitcoin for the first time. And, thanks to support from Luno, each Pioneer gets £500 of Bitcoin a month to share with beginners, helping them get started.
