The price of Bitcoin bounced back to over the 57,000 dollars level, after hitting the 54,000 dollars line, after the general sale-wave on the Chair of the United States Federal Reserve Jerome Powell's speech on the cryptocurrencies, defining them as "more for speculation" than they are meant to be used as payment.

With increasing corporate purchases, the total market capitalisation, which exceeded the 1.5 trillion dollar limit for the first time in history on February 15, was at 1 trillion 825 billion dollars on Tuesday.


While the value of 16 units decreased from the highest volume of 100 units in the last 24 hours in the crypto money markets, two of the top 10 units were among those that fell.
