The increases are still present in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin has surpassed the $ 8,000 mark and has continued the rally in recent weeks. In this way, it is already worth double that at the beginning of the year. Although, the price of bitcoin is still far from the historical highs recorded at the end of 2017 at around 20,000 dollars. Speaking to CNBC, Andy Brenner, expert National Alliance Securities, said that while it was not possible to confirm who is behind the direct flows of who is buying the famous cryptocurrency, it seemed logical that Chinese investors were using the digital currency as a means to diversify. "We can see that the offer of bitcoin in this last execution has coincided with a big drop in the value of the Chinese yuan against the dollar," Brenner said.
