The dips in the crypto market were sparked by China’s blanket ban on digital currency. China imposed the ban last week on September 24. The value of bitcoin rose to record highs earlier this year. Bitcoin last attained an all-time high above $63,000 in April. Now a significant number of institutions are embracing digital token.
