I read on news that

"The French finance minister has called for tough new regulations on cryptocurrencies to stop them being used to dodge tax or finance terrorism and other crimes"

Is this having any impact on the downtrend nature of the whole Crypto Currency market today?
Are some investors having second thought about crypto and selling them?

Would like to get some idea about this.


This is one of the statement that caught my attention
"A director at Germany’s central bank said any attempt to regulate cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin must be on a global scale as national or regional rules would be hard to enforce on a virtual, borderless community."
The real enemies of cryptocurrencies are the one managing the banks. They wanted to destroy the crypto world for it affects their businesses and they are losing too much investors. This statement, in my opinion, shows how desperate they are to say that it should be globally regulated. Well, good luck to them.
Minister of Economy and Finance of France has instructed a former central banker to develop any new rules and warn about the "risks of speculation and possible financial manipulation" related to the bitcoin and other crypto-currency.
