Price volatility intensified in the cryptocurrency market during the last two weeks. Prices made huge sideways movements – a tug-of-war between bulls and bears has ensued. Bears have strongly capitalized on the crypto market after Google imposed an advertising-related ban on cryptocurrencies. Global regulators have also deepened their crackdown on crypto markets adding to the bear’s sentiments.
The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has hit the lowest level in the last month on Sunday before rebounding on Monday. The selloff was supported by the potential ban[1] from Twitter on crypto-related ads, while the positive reports from G20 summit helped Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) in paring earlier losses.
Bulls have applauded Mark Carney’s statement of creating new regulatory rules for cryptocurrencies; despite its price volatility, he believes digital currencies aren’t[2] in a position to threaten the global financial stability as the crypto markets account for less than one percent of total global economic output.
He said, “The FSB’s initial assessment is that crypto-assets do not pose risks to global financial stability at this time.”
