|The popular father of crypto Bitcoin saw its value stable for now. Bitcoin went over the $54,000 important level and continued to climb above $55,000. Later the increasing momentum drove the popular coin to a new spike beyond the $55,500 mark before taking a break by creating a short downside correction. Bitcoin's value is currently exchanging close to $54,700. A possible positive momentum could drive the coin to a new extension over the $55,500 mark.
Additionally, many significant altcoins are growing as well with the same speed. XRP/USD for example extended its value versus the USD and broke the $1.45 resistance before dropping below $1.40. The other popular crypto ETH continued its positive momentum and went above $2,648 while its value was exchanged to a new all-time top close to $2,708.
Those new extensions were accompanied by the news covering the popular Asian registered gaming giant, Nexon, that stated it obtained 1,717 BTC for approximately $100m, while the company "needs to think seriously about the future buying power of our cash in a world of potential currency debasement."
