What’s causing this extreme disruption in cryptocurrency’s value still needed to be explored? As nobody knows exactly why Bitcoin’s price has boosted up by 1700% in a single year, so it also remains a mystery that why these cryptocurrencies are facing this downfall.

As the Goldman Sach is preparing to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in next year, so we are most likely to see an increase in prices in 2018. Meanwhile, the CBOE and CME have already announced trading in cryptocurrencies, so the future appears to be bright.
