Market Moves by Omkar Godbole 
Bitcoin Breaks Out, Near $58K, After Visa's USDC Move Bitcoin is rising in the wake of payments giant Visa announcing support for USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin whose value is pegged to the U.S. dollar.
The biggest cryptocurrency by market value is trading higher on the day, near $58,000 at press time, with the daily chart showing a bullish breakout out from a two-week-long descending channel identified by trendlines connecting March 14 and March 20 highs and March 16 and March 25 highs.
Prices have risen by nearly $2,000 since Reuters early today reported Visa's decision to allow the use of stablecoin USDC to settle transactions on its payment network.
