Bitcoin's price has shot up through the $9,000 mark, reaching its current price of $9,265. This positions its market cap above $170 billion.
Bitcoin's price has been steadily building over the past two months. After seeing recent lows on March 13, at $4,500, its price has now rebounded up 105%.
Today's price rise comes just six days ahead of the Bitcoin halving.
On May 12 (or thereabouts), the new supply of Bitcoin will be cut in half, reducing its rate of inflation. This event happens every four years. The last halving was in 2016. While coin holders are gently optimistic that the supply shock might put upwards pressure on the price of Bitcoin, miners will be hit by the sudden reduction in revenue.
6 days left until next #BitcoinHalving
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░ 99%— Bitcoin Halving Countdown (@Bitcoin_Halving) May 6, 2020
Coming in to the halving, Bitcoin's dominance remains high, at 66.5%. This is Bitcoin's percentage of the entire cryptocurrency market cap. It has seen a slight uptick from 63.7% at the end of last month but is still down from recent highs of 88%.
Other coins are in the green too, with Ethereum up two percent today to reach $210 and XRP up two percent to its current value of $0.22. All coins in the top ten are showing positive gains today.
DigiByte (DGB) was propelled into the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market cap on May 5, after recording 930% growth against the dollar in under two months. This sudden growth spurt by DigiByte is all the more surprising considering the coin is not, and has never been, listed on the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world: Binance. Vice-chairman of the DigiByte Foundation, Rudy Bouwman, shed some light on the coin’s strong performance of late, and explained why not all roads necessarily lead t...
Notably, Digibyte is up 14% as it continues its strong bullish performance. The coin is up 930% in the last two months.
In contrast, some low cap coins are in the red. Eighty-ninth-ranked Streamr is down six percent while 42-ranked Hyperion is down 17%.

Dogecoin hit its highest price in months early Saturday, nearly touching $0.23 as the broader crypto market rebounds—and Bitcoin sits mere percentage points away from its own current all-time high. Over the last week, DOGE has jumped nearly 27% to a current price of $0.225, including an 9% rise in the last day alone. Saturday's earlier price peak is the highest recorded for Dogecoin since March 2, per data from CoinGecko. Along with price gains, open interest on Dogecoin is up to its highest lev...
For the past two years, Ethereum's price has lagged behind Bitcoin. But over the past two days, ETH has been outpacing BTC and other major coins, with three analysts whom Decrypt contacted attributing its huge gains to a flawlessly executed technical upgrade and a few hopeful signs about the global economy. The analysts believe that Ethereum may have significant upside after languishing in the doldrums amid concerns about its underlying network's speed and efficiency. "The market is poised to re...
Leading tokens from last cycle’s viral meme coin phenomenon are skyrocketing in value this week as Bitcoin reclaimed $100,000, Ethereum marked double-digit percentage gains, and Solana hit a two-month high.
