Bitcoin and altcoins have started this new week with significant losses meaning buyers are still unable to take the initiative and change the situation. Many experts think that this is a delayed reaction of investors to CFTC requirement for the most significant exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp and itBit to provide US regulatory body with all trading operations data since the moment of launch of Bitcoin futures.
What does this mean for the whole crypto community? First of all, CFTC will be able to have all necessary information on traders’ activities, which “kills” privacy. The crypto community reaction to this requirement is reasonable as a huge amount of traders and investors will have to change platforms in order to maintain a high level of confidentiality.
There is another event that was likely to push Bitcoin and other cryptos down. A small exchange in South Korea was hacked and nearly $40 mln coins were taken. It is not a huge attack like we have seen when hacked have attacked MTGox, but it erodes confidence towards the crypto community, which is vulnerable.
