Cryptocurrencies remain in trouble as Chinese efforts against exchanges, but also mining, take effect. Chinese authorities now refer to them as “counterfeit currencies”.

Bitcoin rose 3.5% to $36,484 after approaching the $30,000 threshold again on Sunday, which it has not crossed since January. Bitcoin Eldorado, Beijing, which is testing its own digital yuan, has called on China's three major banking federations not to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

Argument put forward, the risks associated with the speculative nature. As a result, the price of bitcoin has been collapsing for a few weeks. It fell on Wednesday, approaching $30,000 for a time, its January level far from the record reached on April 14, at $64,865.22.
