Among the main news this week, Bitcoin Cash, the project that left the chain of Bitcoin chains in August 2017, was divided into two different parts: "Bitcoin Cash ABC" (BCH ABC) and "Bitcoin Cash SV" ( BCH SV). In the aftermath of the spur, the ABC chain of Bitcoin Cash accumulated more evidence of work and its currency, BCH ABC, traded upward on the markets (futures). Most ABC supporters of Bitcoin Cash felt victorious – although many supporters of Bitcoin Cash SV have not yet conceded their defeat. Although, just before the pitchfork, cryptos finally lost their stability, and then dive 10%. Almost all major currencies took revenge, but recovered slightly after the range.

This BCH range has brought torrential rains to the crypto market and falling prices in recent months. Ethereum lost its second place to XRP. Ethereum's value fell 38.6% in the last three months, bringing its market capitalization to $ 18.1 billion. The value of XRP increased by 61.1% over the same period, bringing its market capitalization to $ 20.5 billion.

Among regulators, said Christine Lagarde, president of the IMF, governments should consider offering their own cryptocurrencies to prevent the systems from becoming havens for fraudsters and money launderers. According to the Guardian report, Lagarde said central banks need to work quickly to create digital liquidity for burgeoning networks of private financial transactions or risk their proliferation in inherently unstable trading networks.

Benoît Coeure, a member of the board of the European Central Bank (ECB), said crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin were the scourge of the 2008 financial crisis, reported Bloomberg.

Speaking to the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Coeure supported the idea of ​​the head of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), Agustin Carstens, according to which Bitcoin is a "combination of bubble, system of Ponzi and Environmental Disaster "and said:" Few people remember that Satoshi has integrated the genesis block with a January 2009 Times title on the bailout of UK banks.In all respects, Bitcoin is the perverse product of the financial crisis. "
