On Wednesday, bitcoin fell 6.65% to $ 7,452.42, according to the Coindesk quotes website. With this fall, it has already accumulated almost a 25% loss since the peak of May 4, and more than 60% since its peak in December, when it was around 20,000 dollars.

This umpteenth setback occurs as the world's most valuable digital currency plunges amid growing regulatory scrutiny, even after the Consensus convention last week exposed the optimism and excess of the bitcoin community.

Wednesday's declines also coincided with a sell-off in financial markets, with shares and commodities falling amid growing pessimism about US talks with North Korea and China. Ethereum also dropped 5%, while Bitcoin Cash dropped 9%.
