Red Day for Investors as Bitcoin Falls Below $30,000

• The price of Bitcoin has fallen below $30,000, bringing the losses of the flagship cryptocurrency to 16% in the past week

• Other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Dogecoin also suffered huge declines, bringing the loss of the crypto market to $200b since last week

• The crypto market has been hugely affected by a crackdown by the Chinese government and other financial governing bodies

Flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin has lost more than 6% of its value in the last 24 hours as the coin dropped drastically below $30,000.

The world’s number one cryptocurrency is now trading at $29,600, a level last reached on June 22.

The value of the coin had risen to $31,800 on Monday, giving investors hope of recovery before plummeting.

The second-largest crypto asset in the world has also been hit as Ethereum lost more than 8% of its value, dropping to $1750.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s pet cryptocurrency dogecoin has crashed by 8.4% to $0.164719.

In the last 24 hours, almost $100 billion has been wiped from the crypto market, which takes the weekly losses above $200 billion.

The latest Bitcoin crash comes after a crash in the global stocks market on Monday.

Since reaching a record high of $64,900 in April, BTC has come sliding down, mostly due to a crackdown on crypto trading and mining in China.

The country has forced major mining facilities to shut down as the government also warned fintech companies against offering crypto services.
