The cryptocurrency industry just experienced a dramatic decline in its value as around $50 billion in currency values were lost in a 72-hour period. The overall market cap of the industry has gotten to under $340 billion. The declines include significant drops in the values of the bitcoin among other currencies.
The decline in the bitcoin’s value was the most noteworthy point to see. The currency fell down to around $7,650 in value, thus causing it to go below the $8,000 mark for the first time in weeks. This continues a downward trend for the currency, although it had been attempting to catch back up in value in recent time.
Many other currencies experienced similar declines in their values. These include drops of five percent of more within the recent three-day period. Ethereum has gotten to below $600 while Bitcoin Cash was moving back down under the $1,000 mark. Although the value of Bitcoin Cash had doubled in value in April, the gains are being lost as the currency posted a sizeable loss for the third straight week.
Most major currencies have stabilized after their strong declines. There are still concerns that the values might continue to fall due to the uncertainty over the market. This also comes as the perceived value of currencies has been different throughout many cultures.
A few of the top currencies on the market declined in value by 10 percent or more in the same period. Centrality had a loss of about 13 percent to get down to 20 cents per coin while also having a market cap below $150 million. The Polymath currency had a drop of 12 percent with its market cap starting to move towards the $200 million mark with the potential for the value to decline further.
The main concern on the market surrounds how the cryptocurrency market is waiting for further regulation. There are worries at the moment about how the currency market is growing and what is going to happen with getting different currencies organized. The vital issues surrounding laws that would regulate the currencies on the market and any potential limits on how they may work have been worries for many in the field as there is a sense of uncertainty over how the market will evolve and change.
The most important concern surrounding the decline of currencies involves whether or not this is a sign of a bubble possibly bursting. Analysts argue that it would take at least a year or even two years for the bubble to burst if it was to happen. However, it would be difficult at the moment to figure out what may happen based on the changes in the market and how the currency industry has been volatile over the years.
The decline also comes even after the Consensus blockchain event in New York recently ended. The event had entails people discussing the future of the blockchain, but it is uncertain about what might work here. The values of currencies had increased in the past following the annual Consensus event, but it is not happening this time around.
