The price of bitcoin fell below $12,000 for the very first time since December 5, 2017. The most famous digital currency went down to a six-week low Tuesday, as a consequence of warnings from regulators and reports of an escalated crackdown on the cryptocurrency market in China.
Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and ripple were falling. Ethereum was trading at $1,051.83, down more than 20% in the last 24 hours, and ripple fell almost 27% to $1.33 a token.
