Loading ...Bitcoin Tumbles Below $8,000 As China Launches New Crypto-Crackdown
After surging to $20,000 less than three weeks ago, Bitcoin tumbled below $8,000 again overnight following a report from Chinese media that China will block all websites related to cryptocurrency trading and initial coin offerings (ICOs) – including foreign platforms – in a bid to finally quash the market completely, according to Sina.
On February 4, 2018, according to the Financial Times newspaper run by the People’s Bank of China, a series of regulatory measures will be taken against ICO and virtual currency transactions at home and abroad, including banning the existence of relevant businesses and banning and disposing of domestic and foreign virtual currency exchange websites. -Sina (translated)
