Bitcoin rises above $ 7,500

The course of the most well-known cryptocurrency is currently experiencing an upturn. Other digital currencies such as ether or ripple gained in value.

Evidence of increasing interest in digital currencies has given Bitcoin a strong boost. On Wednesday, the price of the most famous cryptocurrency climbed above $ 7,500. Already the previous evening he had jumped around $ 700. Other digital currencies, such as ether or ripple, also gained significantly in value.

Since the beginning of May, Bitcoin has been steadily losing value. From prices just under $ 10,000, the value had slipped to below $ 6,000 in June. From the record high of about $ 20,000 reached in December 2017, the price remains far removed even after the current recovery.

Among other news, this week's news was that Blackrock, the largest asset manager in the world, wants to set up a working group on digital currencies and related blockchain technology. However, Blackrock boss Larry Fink kept the ball flat. "I have not heard of a single customer who says, 'I have to get in there,'" he told US television Bloomberg-TV.
