Buying activity in Asian stock markets had a positive effect on cryptocurrencies. Over the past 24 hours, bitcoin rose 5 percent to $26,900.
The leading altcoin ether (ETH) is still below $1900. However, thanks to bulls’ activation in the Asia-Pacific region, it was able to strengthen by more than 3% to $1875.
OtBit Markets co-founder Caroline Mauron attributes the growth of BTC and ETH to improved sentiment among investors.
