All About Bitcoin

Elsewhere, the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission released data yesterday. It showed several available contracts for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) bitcoin futures supposedly hit an all-time high from May 27 to June 3.

However, Analytics firm Delphi Digitals debated that bitcoin is outperforming weaker traditional risk assets. Aside from that, it shows selling pressure due to abating sentiment for economic growth in 2019, and the escalating tension between the U.S. and China.
