translated from Spanish: Deflates the Bitcoin: falls to less than US$ 4,500 in settlement of criptomonedas

Bitcoin gave a small initial gain to drop 7.9 percent at 9:16 a.m. in London. More digital currency, which began the year at more than US$ 14,000, has fallen to US$ 4.409, 43. Rivals, including ether, litecoin and XRP, joined the scene, although they stopped the losses that reached up to 17 percent.
After months of relative stability, the bulls of the cryptocurrency have been left reeling by a sudden fall in the market in November. Digital assets have now lost nearly $700,000 million in market value since the criptomania peaked in January, according to CoinMarketCap.com.
Trading in the futures markets, where investors can bet against the bitcoin has skyrocketed. While the trigger for the latest sell-off is not clear, has coincided with a “difficult junction” Bitcoin Cash. The measure, which divided the original bitcoin block in two, has underlined the sometimes chaotic nature of a cryptographic community wracked with infighting.
Regulatory concerns have also affected the perception. On Friday, the Commission of stock exchange and values of the United States announced civil penalties against two companies of cryptocurrency that no recorded their initial offerings of coins as values. And on Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Justice Department is investigating whether the epic rise of last year was due in part to the manipulation, where the operators have driven bitcoin with tether, a popular but controversial digital token.
Monday, the open interest combined in futures bitcoin managed exchanges CME Group Inc. and Cboe Global Markets Inc. increased to the equivalent of bitcoins 22.266, an all-time high. Volume contracts, which allows institutional investors to benefit from falls in the criptomonedas, jumped to the level highest since July.
