Until recently, crypto-currencies were under enormous pressure of negative news. A big stir in the market caused a recent ban on the purchase of digital currencies on credit cards of major banks, such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup. In addition, the authorities of India, China and several other countries imposed serious restrictions on the turnover of virtual money. The situation was overcome thanks to two factors. The first was a natural rebound of the market after a prolonged fall. Crypto-currencies have reached the bottom point at which large investors, obviously, decided to again actively buy up "coins". Accordingly, the price trend has sharply turned in other side. The second positive signal was yesterday's hearings in the banking committee of the Senate of the US Congress on crypto-currencies. At the meeting, the head of the Commission on Commodity Futures Trading. Christopher Giancarlo and head of the Securities and Exchange Commission Jay Clayton announced the need to protect users of crypto currency. They stressed that strict regulation of cryptology is not a prerequisite for ensuring safety. Nevertheless, most financiers are still skeptical about the prospects of bitcoin and other crypto-currencies.
According to the head of the investment analysis department Steve Strongin, most of the virtual money will not be able to survive in the existing form, and investors should be prepared for the fact that their value drops to zero. Those currencies that will survive, yet a little more expensive. "From the fact that today a speculative" bubble "has formed in this market, it does not yet follow that the prices of few surviving crypto-currencies can not exceed the current values. At the same time, it most likely means that the majority of crypto-currencies, if not all, will never manage to reach recent record values, "- quotes RT analyst.
