As you can see from the chart above, the market took a sharp fall starting on Monday from an over $700 billion market cap to just over $430 billion, in about 24 hours time. There have been various speculations as to why the market took a plunge from the upcoming Chinese New Year, BitConnect closing its exchange doors causing a selloff, South Korean and Chinese Regulations, and the unknown influence of the first Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) futures contracts ending.
Top Coins Today

BitConnect coin (BCC) is the biggest gainer today on the cryptocurrency market which is a HUGE surprise, to most.
It was just announced on Tuesday by the company, that it would close its doors to its lending and exchange platform and caused the coin to plummet immediately. Earlier on Tuesday, the coin was valued at $217.43 and dropped over -90% to $19.94 a coin, within a few hours. At press time, the coin is selling at $42.77 a coin, up 125.41% in 24 hours. It remains unclear as to why the coin has suddenly spiked, as many learned earlier this week that they weren’t able to cash out their BCC tokens and were extremely unhappy. I will continue to monitor the situation and will update if new information arises.
