The cryptocurrency is still down roughly 19% this year to date with crackdowns in South Korea and China, as well as hacks and scam warnings pushing away investors, reports fortune.com.

The cryptocurrency space received some good news late Wednesday after the Chicago Board Options Exchange revealed plans to also look at offering other cryptocurrency futures in addition to Bitcoin.  It offered the first Bitcoin futures in early December.

Other cryptocurrencies were seeing sharp rises Wednesday night including Bitcoin Cash (up 7% over the past 24 hours), Ethereum (up 5% over the past 24 hours) and Litecoin (up nearly 6%).
