Today Bitcoin (BTC) is breaking this year’s record again as Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine is proving to be 94.5% effective.
Bitcoin Records Highest Three-Week Close in Crypt History
Bitcoin decided to start the week off right by bringing the crypto market to life once again. However, the excitement is not limited to the crypto market because we now have a second vaccine option.
Yes, today Moderna Labs announced positives for a possible coronavirus vaccine, with an effectiveness of 94.5%. Let us bear in mind that Moderna’s vaccine surpasses in reported effectiveness the Pfizer and the Sputnik V of Russia.
Evidently the news of a new vaccine inserted a boost to the world and, with them, to the markets and Bitcoin.
At this moment Bitcoin News Trader is quoted in USD 16,788, with a growth of 5.48% during the last 24 hours. Very, very close to USD 17,000, will it make it?
