On October 25, the price of the headline crypto coin soared by over 30% and some exchanges even showed 40%.
The crypto community is shining with happiness and is trying to get down to the reasons of this price surge. It was similar to the increase BTC saw in September this year.
VanEck’s Director speaks of the BTC rise, the China’s DLT statement included
VanEck’s chief of digital assets, Gabor Gurbacs, suggests three reasons for the Bitcoin price surge. He named the expiration of CME Bitcoin futures contracts and the arrest of the Crypto Capital CEO in Poland.
Reason number three is yesterday’s statement made by the head of the Chinese government, Xi Jinping, regarding the blockchain technology. The President basically announced that China is going to legalize DLT and use it for every opportunity it offers.
