[Featured Stock] Bitcoin breaks $80,000, related stocks surge in early trading

As Bitcoin surpassed the $80,000 mark, virtual currency-related stocks are showing a sharp rise in the domestic stock market in early trading on the 4th.

According to the Korea Exchange, as of 9:07 AM on this day, Woori Technology Investment [041190] is trading at 6,660 won, up 16.64% from the previous trading day.

In addition, virtual currency-related stocks such as Danal [064260] (9.89%), Galaxia Moneytree [094480] (9.06%), and Hanwha Investment & Securities [003530] (12.18%) are rising significantly.

This is interpreted as the result of the recovery in investment sentiment for risky assets, including virtual currencies, after Christopher Waller, a governor of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), stated his willingness to support keeping the benchmark interest rate unchanged.

Bitcoin, a representative virtual currency, rose 5.5%, surpassing the $81,000 mark.
