On the week, Bitcoin remains up a solid 6 percent, while monthly losses are around 15 percent.
Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $284 at press time, over 3 percent on the day and virtually reversing the gains claimed over the past couple of days.

IOTA (MIOTA) has taken a hit. Following a week of exceptionally bullish growth in response to news of a partnership with Japanese ICT conglomerate Fujitsu on a new proof-of-concept (PoC) for audit trails, IOTA has lost 4.68 percent on the day and is trading around $0.71.

While the market falters, regulators globally this week have indicated efforts to bring greater transparency — and potentially with it, more stringent oversight — to the cryptocurrency sector.
Economic and financial affairs ministers from the European Union’s 28 member states will reportedly hold an informal meeting in early September on the challenges posed by digital assets and the possibility of tightening regulations, according to a new Bloomberg report. Polish legislators have also this week introduced a long-awaited new bill to clarify the country’s current crypto taxation policy.
Keeping in mind Charlie Lee’s recent comments that bear markets offer an opportunity for the community to focus on reaching adoption, Yahoo Finance has this week integrated trading with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC), news that was hailed by Morgan Creek Digital’s Anthony Pompliano as a bullish sign the crypto “virus is spreading.”
