Bitcoin surpasses $13K after the "
PayPal" announcement. After Paypal announced that it would accept Bitcoin and some cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, BTC reached a 15-month high.
PayPal Holdings Inc announced on Wednesday that it will allow customers to hold Bitcoin and other virtual currencies in their online wallets and allow 26 million merchants in its network to shop using cryptocurrencies.
With this implementation, PayPal could become one of the largest US companies providing consumers with access to cryptocurrencies. It can also help Bitcoin and other currencies to be adopted broadly as a viable payment method.
Bitcoin, which was just over $ 12,000 before
PayPal's announcement, exceeded $ 13,000. Bitcoin traded at around $ 12,770 on Thursday at 08.55 CET. In addition, Bitcoin saw over 100 thousand TL for the first time yesterday evening on a TL basis due to the dollar / TL exchange rate.
Making a statement on the subject on his Twitter account, Mike Novogratz from Galaxy Investment Partners said "The biggest news of this year about cryptocurrencies" and added that the race to offer digital money services between banks will begin. "We crossed the point of no return," Novogratz said.
