Regulators all over the world are of the opinion that they can’t let the things to happen. The United Kingdom, which is among the biggest cryptocurrency markets, also signaled a potential crackdown on cryptocurrencies.

The U.K’s Prime Minister, Theresa May, said:

Usually, cryptocurrencies have a volatile nature and these digital currencies make large movements on comments from big fund managers and Country’s head.

Investors know that regulating cryptocurrencies isn’t an easy task and this process will take a longer time. Therefore, investors are waiting for the real action from regulators before making any change in their strategy. Cryptocurrencies look steady in Thursday trading, as the total market capitalization continues hovering in the range of $550 billion.
