Bitcoin [BTC], the largest cryptocurrency in the market, has successfully breached the $9000 mark, boosting the market sentiment. Notably, the digital currency was not the only coin to rise in the market as other coins such as Ethereum [ETH] also registered a significant rise in the market.
According to CoinMarketCap, at press time, Bitcoin was trading at $9181, with a market cap of $163.101 billion. The 24 hour trading volume of the cryptocurrency was recorded to be nearly $22.778 billion, with the coin recording a significant rise of over 17 percent in the past week.
Keeping the price surge aside, the coin has constantly been in the headlines with news pertaining to its development and new milestones. The coin was placed in the limelight of the cryptocurrency space after report by researchers at the Technical University of Munich [TUM] claimed that Bitcoin’s carbon footprint was between 22 and 22.9 megatonnes/year, almost the same as that of Vienna or Las Vegas.
Further, the coin recently marked a new milestone after Bitcoin surpassed a million daily active addresses, with the last record on the same dating back to November 2017. Weiss Ratings heralded the same, tweeting,
“Bitcoin passed an interesting milestone – there are now over a million daily active addresses – an important metric that shows actual, unique transfers separate from the various direct transfers to and from bigger exchanges.”
Additionally, the coin was in the news again after Wasabi Wallet, an open-source non-custodial Bitcoin wallet, completed the first ever 100 participants CoinJoin, the largest CoinJoin transaction in terms of participants. Aviv Milner reported the same on Twitter,
“Huge Congratulations – @wasabiwallet just did the first ever 100 person CoinJoin, likely the largest in Bitcoin History. (link) A monumental achievement in Bitcoin privacy. Credit to the team @lontivero @molnardavid84 @nopara73 @dwuk86 @NicolasDorier and others!”
Days after this achievement, a Redditor highlighted that the largest CoinJoin transactions, in terms of inputs, was completed on June 17, 2019, with a total of 125 inputs. Golden Wiki describes CoinJoin as,
“A digital currency platform that enables multiple users to combine all inputs and outputs from different transactions into a single transaction. Privacy is achieved in a way that when a transaction is broadcast, it will not be possible to determine which Bitcoins went where.”
