Although speculative, some believe the sudden price surge has to do with an Islamic scholar deeming cryptocurrency compliant with Islamic Sharia law. Islam is the fastest growing religion, with over 1.6 billion people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of cryptocurrency has been a pressing issue for Muslims around the world. Currency without intrinsic value is forbidden to Muslims, as is lending money with high-interest rates. This practice is known as usury.<\/p>\n<p>As the rest of the world began to adopt the new digital currency, Muslims were forbidden to stake their claim in the crypto space \u2013 until now.\u00a0An Islamic scholar named Mufti Muhammad Abu Bakar published a <a href=\"https:\/\/blossomfinance.com\/press\/is-bitcoin-halal-or-haram-a-shariah-analysis\">paper<\/a> addressing the issue, writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn Germany, Bitcoin is recognized as a legal currency and therefore qualifies as Islamic money in Germany. In countries such as the US, Bitcoin lacks official legal monetary status but is accepted for payment at a variety of merchants, and therefore qualifies as Islamic customary money.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>While the assumption is purely speculative, many believe the price surge was largely due to the crypto market finally opening to 23% of the world's population.<\/h3>\n<p>The assumption is more than reasonable, especially considering Bitcoin's price is often swayed by external third parties, such as the mainstream media.\u00a0Shortly after the paper was published, over one billion dollars in trades were initiated across all exchanges and Bitcoin's price saw a sharp increase over a short duration.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does This Mean Going Forward?<\/h2>\n<p>Muslims account for nearly one-quarter of the earth's population. If adopted by more Islamic scholars, the decision could open the market to many new investors previously avoiding the commodity.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44438\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44438\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44438\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/crypto-price-burst-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Crypto Week in Review: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin Experience Solid Price Bursts\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/crypto-price-burst-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/crypto-price-burst-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/crypto-price-burst-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/crypto-price-burst-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44438\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related Article:\u00a0<a title=\"Crypto Week in Review: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin Experience Solid Price Bursts\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/crypto-week-in-review-bitcoin-ethereum-ripple-bitcoin-cash-and-litecoin-experience-solid-price-bursts\/\">Crypto Week in Review: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin Experience Solid Price Bursts<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The crypto market's volatility was clearly demonstrated in 2017, with Bitcoin's price surpassing $19,000 and the total crypto market cap reaching $800 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Bitcoin has retraced significantly, finding support at ~$6,800.
