Bitcoin tumbles below $27000 for first time since December 2020 as ... (CNBC)

Bitcoin slumped below $27000 Thursday for the first time in over 16 months as cryptocurrency markets extended their losses.

Economists have long feared that tether may not have the required amount of reserves to bolster its dollar peg in the event of mass withdrawals. Adding to investors' fears Thursday was a drop in the value of tether, the world's biggest stablecoin. Ether, the second-biggest digital currency, tanked to as low as $1,789 per coin. Digital currency investors often turn to them for safety in times of volatility in the markets. That's a risky gamble, not least because bitcoin is itself an incredibly volatile asset. That marks the first time bitcoin has sunk below the $27,000 level since Dec. 30, 2020.

Crypto prices have tumbled, but many currencies are still up big over the past few years. Analysts advise staying the course · cryptocurrency · supply chains.

Despite the economic headwinds, there is still no imminent “crypto winter,” and crypto is still in the early stages of adoption, Shah said. Because of a lack of crypto regulation—President Biden issued an executive order earlier this year to study the matter—it can be easy for investors to lose money if they don’t do proper research.
