China’s President Xi Jinping’s endorsement of the blockchain technology sent bitcoin up by more than 40 percent.<\/p>\n
The benchmark cryptocurrency established a new session high of $10,540.49 after rising by $3,109 over the weekend. The surplus gains came after a depressive performance last week, wherein bitcoin price shed as much as 17.33 percent, or $1,529.96. However, on Friday, Xinping called blockchain “a core technology” of China’s next-age innovation plans. The premier called for more investments into the nascent sector, a move that speculators treated as bullish for blockchain’s first working application, Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
