Crypto Prices Stabilise

Last week was a quieter one for crypto traders as the market reflected on the China crypto ban announcements. After the initial panic, prices seem to have stabilised for now.

The total market cap of all cryptos according to coinmarketcap.com is currently US$128 billion.

Technically the market remains in an up-trend, though the recent volatility suggests that it could trade sideways in the run-up to Christmas as traders and investors wait to see what happens next.

But, behind the scenes, bitcoin (BTC) made some progress on the march towards public acceptance.

Australia’s government has introduced a bill that delivers on a long-standing promise to solve a ‘double taxation’ problem for cryptocurrencies.

The government explained:

‘The Bill will ensure that Australians are no longer charged GST on purchases of digital currency, allowing it to be treated the same way as physical money for GST purposes. The law change will retrospectively apply from 1 July 2017, in line with the 2017 Budget announcement.’

Future legislation on other issues like Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules are expected soon.

Here’s the roundup of cryptocurrency prices in Australian dollars…

Bitcoin Price: $4,617, -1.411%

Ethereum Price: $353, -0.32%

Zcash Price: $220.50, +2.61%

MaidSafeCoin Price: $0.47, -0.432%

Dash Price: $422, -3.61%

Free report reveals:

Could ‘the next Bitcoin’ make you rich?

If you thought Bitcoin was the only cryptocurrency on the market…

Think again!

Right now, there are more than 850 digital currencies on the live market (and counting). And a new ‘crypto’ hits the open market every four days. Some will crash and burn…while others stand to make fast-moving investors a fortune.

Well, Crypto analyst, Ryan Dinse believes he’s found the next best crypto to invest in right now. It’s snapping at Bitcoin’s heels and according to some experts ‘will blow past Bitcoin entirely’.

We call it ‘the next Bitcoin’.

But you might know this knockout crypto by its official name: Ethereum.

In a brand new Money Morning report titled ‘Why Ethereum Could Be the One Coin to Rule Them All’, Ryan fills you in on why Ethereum is the crypto investors should focus on right now…and why it’s poised to hit another explosive growth phase in 2017.
