Bitcoin selloff deepens, digital currency now down 50 per cent from recent peak

Bitcoin’s selloff, sparked by fears of a regulatory crackdown, deepened with the price of a single coin dropping below US$10,000 (NZ$13,669) for the first time since November.

Its total loss has spiralled to 50 per cent since its mid-December peak.

The mini-crash in Bitcoin is the latest bout of massive volatility for the upstart cryptocurrency that made big news last year when its price skyrocketed nearly 1400 per cent, creating a speculative frenzy for people around the world trying to get rich quick.

A day after falling 25 per cent, bitcoin plunged another 9 per cent on Wednesday to around US$9635 per coin, or 50 per cent lower than its mid-December peak of around US$19,500.
