The price of the digital currency Bitcoin has fallen during today's trading by more than 10% to reach a low level throughout the week at 15,800 dollars on the platform Bitstamp, to lose about fifth of its value from the highest levels reached three days ago.
The digital currency has swung since hitting a historic high of $ 19,666 on Sunday, when CME Group launched futures contracts for Bitcoin, a week after the Chicago Board Options Exchange launched futures contracts.
Bitcoin's gains this year, which have doubled more than 19 times, have raised fears and caution among policymakers around the world. They declared that it had not yet become an officially recognized currency and was merely a speculative tool.
