The controversial digital currency Bitcoin has halted on Wednesday, the descent for the time being. In the morning, Bitcoin traded around $ 10,000 on major trading platforms. A media report from the previous day had led to a sharp fall in prices of over $ 1,000 in the digital currency and pressed the Bitcoin down to about $ 9500.
The news agency Bloomberg had been reported Tuesday with reference to a person familiar with the matter that the crypto-exchange Bitfinex had come under the sights of a US regulator. Following the release of the report, the prices of many crypto currencies came under heavy pressure. The topic of regulation is the Achilles heel for digital currencies. Some countries, such as China and South Korea, are already very restrictive.
