Uncertainty of investors about the regulation of crypto-currencies adversely affects the rate of bitcoin.
The most "untwisted" digital currency - bitcoin, according to the Coindesk portal, was cheaper today at 4.09 percent - up to 13.03 thousand dollars. At the Bitfinex exchange, at the same time, it was given up to 13.02 thousand dollars, for GDAX - up to 13.05 thousand dollars.
Recall that last week, after rumors that the South Korean authorities are preparing a bill to ban the trade in crypto-currencies in the country, bitcoin lost a tenth of its value, dropping to 13.25 thousand dollars. Later, the head of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Korea in an official speech denied the possibility of such a ban, allowing the bitcoin to re-gain in price.
However, on the eve of the South Korean agency Yonhap referring to the Ministry of Justice of the country announced the intention of the authorities to restrict trade in crypto-currencies.
