Crypto prices are down
On Thursday, BTC dropped below its support level of $34,000 as recent volatility in the cryptocurrency market showed minor signs of abating. Market participants blamed the losses on increased anxieties over China’s central bank issuing a stablecoin risk alert over regulatory concerns. Due to China’s clampdown, Bitcoin prices initially fell below $30,000 on June 22, reaching their lowest level since January 2021. Its most recent high of $40,173.20 came on June 16, just before China indicated it was taking measures against increasing crypto activity in the country. Following the action, nations such as South Korea promised to combat the increase in cryptocurrency money laundering. At the same time, the Metropolitan Police stated that it had successfully closed in on an extensive UK cryptocurrency money-laundering scheme. [coinbase]
