Bitcoin Price Plunges, Recovers as Bitcoin Offshoot Blasts Off
Cryptocurrency trading app said it would investigate allegations of insider trading in Bitcoin Cash
Wall Street Journal article by Steven Russolillo and Gregor Stuart Hunter
One of the world’s largest cryptocurrency platforms said it would investigate allegations of insider trading after the price of a bitcoin offshoot called Bitcoin Cash climbed in value before the platform began facilitating trades in the alternative currency.
The launch of Bitcoin Cash contributed to the price on the original bitcoin falling about $2,000 in less than hour, to below $15,700, before recovering. Bitcoin recently traded around $17,225 but has dropped roughly 15% from a recent high of nearly $20,000 this past weekend.
