It has been a positive 24 hours of trade for the crypto market and small gains are being seen across the board.
This has taken the value of the entire market up by almost 0.7% to US$218.7 billion according to Coin Market Cap.
Prices have risen despite potentially negative news out of China revealing that search engine giant Baidu has followed in the footsteps of WeChat owner Tencent and e-commerce giant Alibaba by imposing anti-cryptocurrency measures.
According to the South China Monring Post, Baidu, the operator of China's dominant internet search engine, has closed some of its most popular cryptocurrency-related chat rooms, known as Post Bar services. These include the popular "Digital Currency Bar" and "Virtual Currency Bar."
This follows WeChat announcing last week that it has blocked access to a number of high-profile cryptocurrency and blockchain related accounts for its 1 billion users. In addition to this, both WeChat and Alibaba's Alipay will monitor their platforms for cryptocurrency-related transactions.
