Shares of cryptocurrency mining company The9 Limited (NASDAQ: NCTY) were skyrocketing on Wednesday. As of 3 p.m. EDT, the stock was up a whopping 39%. Part of this might be because popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin was also up today. According to CoinDesk, the price of Bitcoin is up roughly 10% over the past 24 hours. The9 stock is often up when Bitcoin is up.
But considering that The9 stock is significantly outpacing its Bitcoin-stock peers, it seems there's something more going on.
