Friday, Oct. 11 - Major cryptocurrency markets have continued sliding over the day, with only three coins in the top-20 list reporting gains.
The top cryptocurrency Bitcoin is trading at around $8,355, having lost 2% on the day at press time.
The majority of the decline took place over a period of just 1 hour earlier today, when the coin slumped from $8,734 to $8,404.
"Now that Bitcoin is a big kid, anything can make it move, just like anything can make gold or a G-10 currency move. Bitcoin is part of the financial landscape in a very intertwined and mature way."
The second-largest coin by market cap, Ether, is also suffering a slump.
After losing 4.66% in 24 hours to press time, the coin is trading at around $181.86.
XRP has dropped by 1.35% on the day and is trading at around $0.269 at press time.
Earlier today, the coin saw an upswing to $0.275, after which it has been reporting a gradual decline over the course of the day.
The third winner on the top-20 list is Cosmos, which is struggling to remain in the green, having gained modest 0.88% to press time.
Total market capitalization of all digital currencies is around $224,8 billion at press time.
