Bitcoin Hits Year’s Low, Crypto Market Down 11 Percent
The crypto market fell by 11.7 percent in the last 24 hours after the FTX crypto exchange decided to sell its business to Binance overnight due to lack of funds. Bitcoin on Wednesday, November 9, opened with a loss of 11.69 percent to trade at $18,357 (roughly Rs. 14.9 lakh) according to crypto price tracker Gadgets 360. The top cryptocurrency struggled to break the mark of $20,000 (roughly Rs. 16 lakh) in the past few weeks, it also experienced losses in international trade to trade at the same price point.
Ether recorded an even bigger loss than Bitcoin. As per the crypto price tracker, ETH fell by 16.90 percent which took its price down to $1,314 (roughly Rs. 1.06 lakh).

“Bitcoin fell in the year when Binance took Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX close amid concerns about how FTX’s liquidity and solvency problems raised questions about the health of their balance sheet as they had repeatedly lent their FTT token as collateral. The FTT token dropped 78 percent as a result after Binance announced their intention to take over the troubled exchange pending due diligence and legal procedures,” the CoinDCX research team told Gadgets 360.
