Elon is back
Musk spoke about Bitcoin again, showed his support and assured that both he and his companies continue to have Bitcoin in their wallets. Also, on Sunday it was leaked that Amazon would begin to accept Bitcoin as a means of payment.
Two factors that of course caused the crypto star to boom again and for a few minutes to reach 48 thousand dollars, a figure that quickly fell to 38 thousand where it found stability at least until now. 19.7% rise compared to the previous Sunday, closing just above 38 thousand USD.
As expected in these cases, the entire market followed this movement and ether was no exception, closing on Sunday above $ 2,300, which leaves us with an excellent 21.5% weekly rise.
Following this path, another one that had a great lift was Cardano, despite the fact that it could not regain ground in the market capitalization ranking, remaining below BNB. It was a weekly rise of 11% closing at $ 1.31.
Link and XLM were some of the altcoins that rose almost 20% following the euphoria that seems to return to the cryptocurrency market.
