Why Did Bitcoin Prices Drop in 2018?

As we mentioned earlier, the cryptocurrency market is bearish right now.

Bitcoin prices have dropped right along with Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and XRP.

One of the reasons for the bearish sentiment is Bitcoin ETFs were rejected by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Crypto investors were hoping an ETF would lure new money into the market, according to Money Morning Cryptocurrency Expert David Zeiler.

"A Bitcoin ETF would help bridge the gap by allowing these large investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without the hassle of owning it outright. At the same time, it will open the door to a class of investors whose presence will help fortify and stabilize the Bitcoin markets," Zeiler said on Sept. 17, 2018.

But the SEC isn't ready for a Bitcoin ETF, which means crypto investors still have to wait for retail money to hit the market.

Also, high-profile hacks of cryptocurrency exchanges in 2018 have undoubtedly made investors nervous about using and storing crypto.

As of July 4, 2018, $731 million worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen from crypto exchanges in the first half of 2018, according to CCN.com.

The Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Zaif was hacked on Sept. 19, 2018, and $59 million worth of crypto was stolen.

Finally, the run-up of crypto prices in 2018 was so astounding that the market needed a cooldown.

BTC prices traded for $963.66 on Jan. 1, 2017, and climbed 1,364% to $14,112.20 by Jan. 1, 2018.
