As you can see from the 7-day chart above, BTC has been making steady gains this week. Many global regulations have pushed the entire cryptocurrency market down, but it seems investors have gained some confidence.
Recently it was reported that an Anonymous crypto trader bought $400 million USD worth of Bitcoin (available on Coinbase). This investor bought the digital BTC tokens in increments between 02/09/2018 and 2/12/18. This unknown individual has definitely affected its price increase, but it remains unknown what they plan to do with the currency.
At press time, BTC is trading at $10,775.40 a coin, up 6.93%, in 24 hours time.
