Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, executive at JP Morgan Chase (JPM), a major US based bank, has opined that the price of Bitcoin is progressively influenced by major financial institutions who are active participants in the financial markets. Notably, the Cboe Global markets finished its Bitcoin futures settlement yesterday at 3pm Chicago time.

Several crypto traders continue to believe that Facebook’s venture in cryptocurrency sector will propel the price of Bitcoin and other altcoins. The social media platform provider published the white paper of its native cryptocurrency (stablecoin), Libra, earlier this week. Cryptoanalyst Tom Lee has highlighted this as main reason for the mainstream interest and rally in the cryptocurrency market.
