[아시아경제 이정윤 기자] As the US stock market closed higher, the price of Bitcoin, the representative cryptocurrency, also rose slightly.
According to CoinMarketCap, a global cryptocurrency market exchange site on the 22nd, as of 1:41 pm on the same day, the price of Bitcoin was $19,153 (about 27.54 million won), up 0.40% from the previous day .
US stocks, which showed synchronicity, closed 2% higher. On the 21st (local time), the Nasdaq index which focuses on technology stocks rose 244.87 points, or 2.31%, to 1859.72.
