Bitcoin’s price has fallen to its lowest point in over a week as traders stare down prospects of shifting U.S. monetary policy and continued tightening of regulation of cryptocurrencies in China.
At 20:00 UTC on Monday, the price of the world’s foremost crypto began declining from around $35,466 to a low of $33,221.
