Bitcoin Again Scales In M-Cap To Over $1Trillion

As the optimism in financial markets resurfaced with the push in the US Covid 19 stimulus and softening of treasury yield, bitcoin continues to run-up for fourth straight day and has again hit levels above $1 trillion in market value. The largest cryptocurrency surged 5.2 percent before scaling to $57000 as at 12:23 pm in New York. In February 2021, the bitcoin recorded its highest price of $58350.
