Bitcoin news
A dramatic meltdown in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies appears to have slowed, with investors left counting their losses after one of the most dramatic plunges in recent times.
The whole market is still significantly down over the last week. Ethereum, for instance, has been particularly hard hit and lost 24 percent of its value in the last seven days.
There are signs that dramatic fall could be turning around, however. Bitcoin is up 14 percent over the last day – and back through the important psychological milestone of $30,000 – and the market as a whole is up 13.5 percent.
Fear shook the market this week after the Terra (LUNA) cryptocurrency fell by more than 99 percent overnight, and the wider crash has pushed another stable coin, Tether, below its dollar peg.
