    Less Than Month Before Halving, Bitcoin Returns Above $7,000: The Crypto Weekly Market Update

    Author: George Georgiev

    Last Updated Jun 24, 2020 @ 14:33

    The time until Bitcoin’s halving is slipping away as there are now less than 25 days until the long-awaited event. It will slash the block reward in half and miners and reduce the overall supply of freshly minted bitcoins on the market. According to many, and to history, this is a major bullish catalyst for Bitcoin’s price.

    After a week of rollercoaster rides, the price for the largest cryptocurrency has once again returned over $7,000. From a low of around $6,550, Bitcoin’s price surged more than $500 to reach the level where it’s currently trading at.

    Interestingly enough, this didn’t much faze its dominance that remained around 64%. This means that altcoins failed to capitalize on the positive market momentum and didn’t claim any new grounds.

    Meanwhile, China appears to be inching closer to releasing its central bank digital currency. Leaked photos revealed an interface for the digital Yuan developed by the Agricultural Bank of China.

    Unfortunately, the coronavirus continues to spread like wildfire, and the U.S. has taken the lead. On a somewhat positive note, a recent report had it that a drug developed Gilead Sciences shows positive effects on COVID-19 patients.
