Twitter also caught the frenzy, being flooded with posts and comments about the crypto happenings.

Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, tweeted wondering whETHer anyone had any clue about this rise, as he himself was clueless.

While many ignored the rush by saying that volatility is the main feature of cryptocurrencies, others anticipated large-scale buying by anonymous investors to skyrocket Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) price further.

However, investors are more worried about the malfunctioning in the cryptocurrency market that Bitcoin (available on Coinbase)’s spike indicates.
