The price of Bitcoin broke through the $9000 mark during the weekend and is currently traded at $9200, breaking a 6-week maximum. In general, the market is currently on the rise – the vast majority of altcoins are in the “green zone”.

The price of Bitcoin Cash reached a 10-week maximum. At the end of last week, the mining pool, Antpool, a subdivision of the Chinese giant Bitmain, announced that it began to cut 12% of the transaction commissions received in the Bitcoin Cash mining process. According to Antpool, the cutting of some of the commissions will support the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem and will contribute to the growth of the coin price in the long term.

Other news also mentions the rise of the cryptocurrency market. The cloud services platform Amazon Web Services (AWS) has introduced a template service for the convenient launch of blockchain networks based on the Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric protocols. This was reported on the company’s website. According to Vice President AWS Jeff Barra, thanks to the new service, users will be able to “launch a blockchain  network based on the Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric protocols within a few minutes and a couple of clicks.”

Recent comments by the influencers as well played their role. The latest commentary from LinkedIn cofounder focused on the recent ban of cryptocurrency advertisement, he thinks that it is only a matter of time.hen regulations in the industry will stabilise, advertising will come back. For now, such big players as Facebook, Google, Twitter do not want any unexpected investigation from the SEC. Former JP Morgan Banker Daniel Masters believes that cryptocurrencies are fueling a new financial revolution. He also mentions that the cryptocurrency market will become much bigger.
