The world’s most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, fell below\n$7,000 on Sunday for the first time since May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The price of Bitcoin \/ USD (BTCUSD) reached about $6,850,\nafter falling about 24% during the last month. Last June, the world’s most\nfamous cryptocurrency hit the $9,000 mark for the first time in more than a\nyear, and then continued to rise above $31,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main reason for this latest bitcoin stumble is due to\nChina’s recent announcement that it will eliminate cryptocurrency trading. A\nstatement issued by the People’s Bank of China on Friday warned that it was\nincreasing \u201csupervision and control to combat virtual currency transactions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Investors should be careful not to mix blockchain\ntechnology with virtual currency,\u201d the central bank said, warning of the many\nrisks of cryptocurrency trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There has also been speculation in recent months that China\nis preparing to launch a state-run cryptocurrency, although the bank rejected the\nreport earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bitcoin is not the only digital currency to suffer because\nof its falling price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the price of Bitcoin has reached 85% per year so\nfar, while Ethereum has reached only 8% and Ripple down 37% in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of Sunday night, Bitcoin had a market capitalization of\n$126.3 billion, while Ethereum had a market capitalization of $15.5 billion,\nfollowed by Ripple at $9.7 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
