It is noteworthy that other crypto-currencies also fell in price: Ethereum - by 10.75%, to 958.1 dollars, Ripple - by 9.76%, to $ 1.26, Bitcoin Cash - by 12.82%, to 1, 55 thousand dollars.
The chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, Maurice Obstfeld, said that state regulators around the world should closely monitor the development situation of the Crypto-currency.
For example, several crypto-currency exchanges may be forced to pay tax at a rate of 24.2% of revenue for the previous year, and they will have to transfer transaction data.
As previously reported in URA-Inform, the Central Bank of the UK already in 2018 can approve the use of crypto currency in the financial and trade exchanges.
