Whats happening with crypto? ₿
Last week saw new regulations and public scrutiny around ESG concerns affecting the value of all cryptocurrencies. With huge price swings and increased volatility similar to that of the March 2020 crash.
The markets momentum took a significant hit last week when the People’s Bank of China banned banks and financial institutions from offering any services related to cryptocurrencies. This development, coupled with Elon Musk’s attack on Bitcoin, resulted in the price dropping 30% on May 19th, to a low of $30,101.
This isn't the first time China has heaped pressure on cryptocurrencies and Paul Haswell, a partner at Pinsent Masons law firm in Hong Kong had the following to say on the matter
“Part of it is they have their own digital renminbi, part is the lack of control in terms of cash outflows and part of it is trying to make sure people don’t get scammed,” read the rest of that piece in the Financial Times here.
Yesterday brought relief to Bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts as most of the major coins started the week with significant local gains. With further bounce back overnight as Musk posted some positive news on the future of Bitcoin mining.
