According to data the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/\">coin rankings<\/a>, only a handful of currencies are postings gains today. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin-cash\/\">Bitcoin Cash<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/litecoin\/\">Litecoin<\/a> are suffering the most. Each has dropped close to 10% today. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a>, the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is down 5% at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>While last week\u2019s price drop has yet to be explained, today\u2019s plunge seems predicated on reports that the South Korean government is preparing to regulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/uk-southkorea-bitcoin\/south-korea-to-impose-new-curbs-on-cryptocurrency-trading-idUSKBN1EM05K\">Reuters<\/a> report,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSouth Korean government officials said on Thursday it will impose additional measures to regulate speculation in cryptocurrency trading in the country.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The extent of this regulation is not widely reported, and it\u2019s unclear what exactly South Korea is planning to do.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Neuner, the host of CNBC\u2019s Crypto Trader, made contact with Reuters and other South Korean sources and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cryptomanran\/status\/946314416223588352\">reported the regulations to be<\/a> \u201cno anonymous accounts\u2026[and] capital gains tax on all profits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, by this point, the damage was already done. Bitcoin has struggled to surpass $14,500, and confusion over the original story\u2019s impact is sending shock waves through the markets.<\/p>\n<h2>Why South Korea Matters<\/h2>\n<p>With a population of just over 50 million, South Korea is a relatively small country. However, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/s\/609561\/behind-south-koreas-cryptocurrency-boom\/\">MIT Technology Review<\/a> notes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSouth Korea is one of the world\u2019s most wired societies\u2026[and it] is the world\u2019s \u00a0No. 3 market in Bitcoin trading, after Japan and the U.S.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_273\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-273\" style=\"width: 241px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-273\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/small-cover-eth.jpg\" alt=\"South Korea Ethereum\" width=\"241\" height=\"110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/small-cover-eth.jpg 482w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/small-cover-eth-300x137.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-273\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">South Korea boasts the most prominent market for Ether, the native currency of the Ethereum platform.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Because cryptocurrencies play such a prominent role in the crypto ecosystem, any movement by the South Korean government has an outsized impact on global crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it\u2019s estimated that 1 in 50 South Koreans is participating in cryptocurrencies, so the South Korean government is more likely than other nations to implement sweeping legal measures to protect consumers and investors.<\/p>\n<p>If Neuner\u2019s account is accurate, today\u2019s move by the South Korean government should improve transparency and accountability in crypto markets; it would not challenge the legality of cryptocurrencies or <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/\">Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, this sounds like good news, not bad news.<\/p>\n<h2>The Fear of a Bubble<\/h2>\n<p>As cryptocurrencies continue to surge in value, speculation of a Bitcoin bubble has become more intense. A recent blog by Ben Leudsdorf of <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/economics\/2017\/12\/13\/is-bitcoin-a-bubble-96-of-economists-say-yes\/\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> asserted that<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFifty-one out of 53 forecasters, or 96%, said bitcoin has been experiencing a speculative bubble.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Throughout the year, the fear of the crypto bubble bursting has resided just below the level of genuine concern.<\/p>\n<p>As investors pour money into crypto markets, there has never been a shortage of pundits declaring the bubble\u2019s impending pop.\u00a0It seems likely that market fluctuations like we have seen in the past week have exacerbated these concerns and have helped proliferate the dramatic price fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, crypto market downturns have been followed by significant upswings. Of course, past progress is not indicative of future success, but it does reveal the extent of investor fear and the breadth of investor enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, it can be difficult to differentiate between headlines that impact prices and the impact of prices on news headlines. Lately, it has been difficult to tell the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cryptocurrencies are at it again.
