Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, briefly broke the $9,000 resistance level Thursday afternoon the first time since May 2018.
Soon after the cryptocurrency broke through $9,000, it shed $500 as per data provided by crypto exchange Coinbase. At last check, it was trading at $8,573 per coin.
The volatile asset has been on a tear since the beginning of the year, nearly tripling in value from its bottom below $3,200 at the end of 2018.
It's not exactly clear what has been behind bitcoin's impressive price action. Still, there have been some positive signs, including the entrance of larger players into the market, such as Fidelity and Intercontinental Exchange.
Options trading suggest the price of bitcoin could surge even higher. LedgerX co-founder Juthica Chou said in a tweet current trading of June $10,000 calls implies a "roughly 70% chance we touch $10k in the next 30 days."

Huobi Global claims the company does not take part in wash trading, CoinDesk writes. The company has reviewed its systems in response to Bitwise’s report regarding wash trading performed by cryptocurrency exchanges.
According to spokesperson speaking for Huobi Global CEO Livio Weng, Huobi “is not involved in any wash trading” as it contradicts its “core values.”
While Huobi says the review didn’t point to any systematic abuse, some markets might have been partaking in wash trading.
“We did identify a few of our market makers conducting what we suspect may have been wash trading for the sake of performance and marketing purposes,” the spokesperson said. “We have already communicated with these market makers and they have discontinued the strategies in question.”
In March, Bitwise reported that 95% of reported bitcoin trading volume had been artificially created by wash trading. It identified a number of exchanges that seemed to report genuine trade volumes; the list included Bitfinex, bitFlyer, Binance, Bitstamp, Bittrex, Coinbase, Gemini, itBit, Kraken and Poloniex.

The debate over who the real creator of the original blockchain, Bitcoin, rages on as a new name has entered the waters. Wei Liu, a Chinese citizen residing in California, has recently claimed copyright to Bitcoin’s white paper.
The claim to copyright of the famous white paper has been contentious recently as controversial figure, Craig Wright also filed United States copyright registrations for the same paper and most of the original code used to build Bitcoin.
Wright has been claiming to be the real creator of Bitcoin for some time now but has recently been pushing that narrative with this copyright claim. On the other hand, Lui is an unknown on the cryptocurrency space with not much known as to why he has put forward this claim.
Skeptical claim
The claim to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto has crossed many paths with there not being one agreed upon true belief as to who the creator is. Wright’s claim to be Nakamoto has never truly been accepted, and his claim to copyright the white paper was met with even more skepticism.
Jerry Brito, executive director at non-profit organization Coin Center, tweeted:
“Registering a copyright is just filing a form. The Copyright Office does not investigate the validity of the claim; they just register it. Unfortunately there is no official way to challenge a registration. If there are competing claims, the Office will just register all of them.”
Another claim
Now, there is indeed another claim to the copywrite, from Liu, and it would not validate, or invalidate either man’s claim.
The U.S. Copyright Office released a press statement that said:
“as a general rule, when the Copyright Office receives an application for registration, the claimant certifies as to the truth of the statements made in the submitted materials.” The author of the release concluded:
“The Copyright Office does not investigate the truth of any statement made.”
Still unknown
It would appear that these claims on the copyright cannot legitimately be the answer to proving the real man behind the pseudonym. There have been many debates about the true nature, and where the real Nakamoto is.
Many believe that he has indeed gone underground, or is deceased, or is not just one man, but rather a group of people who created the first blockchain.
