Cryptomens continue to grow unstoppably. The two largest, bitcoin and ethereum, reached new record highs in Asian trading on Saturday. The price of bitcoin rose to 56,620 USD (46,643 euros). The most famous and largest cryptocurrency in the world thus gained 18 percent in a week and more than 92 percent since the beginning of the year. Its market capitalization already exceeded one trillion USD on Friday. In particular, Bitcoin supports the growing acceptance among mainstream investors and companies such as Tesla, Mastercard and BNY Mellon. The price of etherea reached USD 2040.62 on Saturday. The second largest cryptocurrency increased by about 12 percent in a week. Behind the growth of etherea is the positive mood of investors towards digital assets, which is mainly supported by the growth of bitcoin. Another factor is that in February trading in futures contracts for ethereum started on the CME stock exchange.
