Bitcoin continued to edge higher on Tuesday, extending gains made on the previous day on news that asset-management giant BlackRock has set up a working group to look into cryptocurrencies and blockchain, the technology that underpins them.
The prices of ethereum and ripple, the second- and third-largest digital assets by market capitalization respectively, also tracked slightly higher.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink later confirmed the report in an interview with Reuters.
