According to Investing.com charts, quotes touched $4,893 area, and the currency is still trading close to these levels. Besides, the total capitalization of the mined Bitcoins has reached $79,023 bln by the time of writing.

According to Cointelegraph, the share of this country in global trades volume exceeded 50%. And such a development may push Bitcoin even higher with initial target at $5,000.
