BITCOIN TODAY MARKET UPDATE
Last month the price of Bitcoin reacted strongly to the news that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) were planning to launch Bitcoin futures - which eventually led to a massive bull run. Both mainstream exchanges successfully launched their new offerings and in both instances, the price of Bitcoin reacted favourably, although the CME launch a week after CBOE had far less of an effect on the price of Bitcoin.
At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is sitting at $14,217, representing a gain of 13.1% in the last 24 hours. More than $1.6B worth of BTC were exchanged in the BTC/USD market representing a 39% share of daily volume, followed by the BTC/JPY pair that represents a 31% share.
The Bitcoin Cash price has risen 12% over the last 24 hours and is currently sitting at $2842. More than $230M worth of BCH were exchanged in the BTC/USD market, which has a 24% share of daily volume.
