Bitcoin price news: Why is bitcoin going down today? BTC crashes $12.5billion

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Bitcoin, the world’s biggest and best-known cryptocurrency, is currently trading at less than $11,300, according to CoinMarketCap - down from a high of more than $12,000 yesterday (January 28).

Its coin market capitalisation is now hovering around the $190billion mark, which is far below its December peak of nearly $335billion.

Bitcoin’s growth looked unstoppable last month, when it surged from less than $3,000 to nearly $20,000 in just a few months

But the entire crypto market has faltered since the start of the year, with bitcoin’s closest rivals Ripple and Ethereum also struggling.
