It comes as Shiba Inu experienced a surge of ten percent over the past three days with the price predicted to grow higher.
Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell announced Thursday that there are no plans to ban cryptocurrency in the US, and prices soared 10 percent.
Meanwhile, in El Salvador, the country has made its first forays into Bitcoin mining using power generated by a volcano, according to a video released by state-owned geothermal electric company, LaGeo SA de CV.
The first Bitcoin mining rigs have been installed in an energy factory there, where weeks ago, President Nayib Bukele made the cryptocurrency legal tender.
Bitcoin was up to a price of $47,974.84 on Coinbase on Saturday morning, and the overall cryptocurrency market cap jumped back above the $2 trillion mark.
Plus, Bitcoin and Ethereum are going to be traded on Wall Street and Coinbase is now allowing deposits in its accounts from users.
