Crypto selloff: Bitcoin, Ethereum, others see prices tumble
The cryptocurrency market was seen trading in the red zone in the early hours of today.
The total global cryptocurrency market cap drops by 1.67% to 1.19trn, with top cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum prices tumbling 2.4% and 1.9% each.
Before the recent legal actions and investigations against crypto exchanges, the market movement has not been stable.

If Bitcoin tumbles and trades to the downward trend, Ethereum will head down and every other altcoin will follow suit.
