August 22 Bitcoin plunged from above $6,700 to under the $6,400 price point, following news of new anti-crypto policies in China, as well as another series of application denials for several Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin and VeChain (VET) are the only two cryptocurrencies among top 20 coins by market cap that have seen some gains over the past 7 days, with Bitcoin up just 1.43 percent.
