Bitcoin zoomed back to its two-week high, rallying over US$ 54,500 in early Tuesday morning trade as Wall Street investors went bullish on crypto assets.

The top electronic currency token soared over 7 per to US$54,500 and reclaimed its market cap of US$ 1 trillion. The digital currency has been making a buzz across North American markets since Tesla invested more than a billion in it. Last month, two bitcoin ETFs were launched as more institutional investors show interest in cryptocurrencies.

As per Crypto analysts, Gen-Z and millennials’ crypto FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) has also been leading this bitcoin frenzy.

Some fintech analysts expect that Bitcoin could cross U$100,000-mark this year.

Meanwhile, Coinbase revealed its market value is US$ 90 billion, up over 11X compared to its last reported market value of US$ 8 billion in 2018. The US-based crypto exchange is likely to go public by March-end, claim media reports. It will become the crypto exchange to be listed in the world.
