Bitcoin made a sudden and shocking parabolic movement some hours ago. Crypto pundits envisaged the fact behind the sudden price spike that initiated the magnificent gain of about $1,000 within few minutes. Howbeit, this has been attributed to a court pronouncement in favour of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in China.

Bitcoin was on a sharp but not strange downward trend in the market a couple of hours ago. But its sudden and strange price turnaround made the digital currency gain a notable percentage from its 24 hours losses in a very short interval.

Bitcoin’s magnificent price spike was noticed within relatively 10 minutes. It was earlier trading around $9,200, with a great possibility of experiencing more price deficits before the distinct gain. At press time, BTC is trading at $10,674.21, with about 8 percent price increase in the last 24 hours.

Internet Court Pronounces Bitcoin Legal in China

Bitcoin is presently on the winning streak globally. Starting from the United States Congress where a number of congressmen threw their weights behind the functionalities of BTC, to the recent pronouncement made in a court in China, about the legality of the cryptocurrency.

It has since been trending that China is proposing to ban Bitcoin mining in the country. However, this hasn’t become an Act, but a mere proposal.

As reported by Beijing News, the first case of Bitcoin property infringement dispute was pronounced at an Internet Court in Hangzhou, China on 18th July, 2019.

The court pronouncement is reportedly confirmed as the first case where the legality of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin was publicly and officially proclaimed.

This case was about the plaintiff Wu’s complaint against two defenders (Shanghai technology company and Taobao’s network), relating to property right dispute, connecting to transactions made in Bitcoin as far back as 2013.

In short, the judgment went in favour of Bitcoin’s legality. The internet court determined the attributes of virtual property of cryptocurrency by declaring that Bitcoin has the value, scarcity and disposable nature of property and should be recognised as its virtual property status.

This pronouncement alone has been envisaged as the good news that initiated the sudden rise in price experienced by Bitcoin, which also aided the prices of other digital assets to appreciate.

During the period of the hearings, Bitcoin price was affected until the last day when it started seeing another price upsurge.
