Weekly Market Summary

The world’s largest digital currency by market value rose more than 3% to an all-time high of $50,487. It later fell below the mark, trading 0.2% higher at a price of $48,760.

Bitcoin has gotten a boost from the news of large firms like Tesla and Mastercard showing support for crypto. Tesla last week revealed it had bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin and plans to accept the digital coin as payment for its products, while Mastercard said it would open up its network to some digital currencies. PayPal and BNY Mellon have also made big moves to support crypto.

Binance Coin (BNB) saw its second major rally in February, culminating in a new all-time high of $195 after the token price climbed above the $80 mark
Having crossed the $150 resistance point, commentary on social media puts the $200 psychological level as the next major milestone for BNB.

BNB is also enjoying the effects of the significant increase in activity on the Binance Smart Chain. According to data from Defistation, the total value locked on the BSC showed a  20% increase in the last 24 hours and now stands at about $8 billion. This figure puts BSC’s total value locked at about a fifth of Ethereum’s DeFi scene.
