The former US banking regulator and crypto enthusiast is resigning at a time when regulators in Hong Kong, Britain, Germany, Japan, Italy and Thailand have cracked down on Binance due to worries over investor protection. Watchdogs globally also fret that the boom in cryptocurrencies is aiding money laundering and increasing systemic risks.
Even though the current downside move is sure to shock some investors, slight corrections after reaching new all-time highs are a customary practice for Bitcoin.

Altcoins are alternative versions of Bitcoins, but with minor changes. They are often a result of a Bitcoin fork. There are many different types of altcoins.
Bitcoin set another new all-time high Wednesday afternoon over $68,000. And then it promptly dropped down to below $65,000, where it remains Thursday morning.
That’s the same crowd that has pumped up the prices this year for other crypto like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.
So what should crypto investors do in light of this latest increase? Nothing, according to the experts we’ve talked to. Given the crypto’s history of volatility, this increase doesn’t guarantee a long-term reversal. Bitcoin’s price is just as likely to fall back down as it is to continue climbing. The price swings are going to keep happening, and experts say they’re something long-term crypto investors will have to continue dealing with.
Cryptocurrency transactions are recorded on a decentralized ledger. This ledger is called a blockchain. Every time crypto is bought or sold, the transaction is added to the blockchain — a public database of the transactions, which is available to other crypto holders. Anyone can join and participate in the blockchain, but data on individual transactions — and the people involved with them — are secured using cryptography (the basis for the term cryptocurrency). For each transaction added to the blockchain, there’s a digital validation process to verify it and prevent fraud.
Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies exist only as a shared digital record of ownership, stored on a blockchain. When a user wants to send cryptocurrency units to another user, they send it to that user’s digital wallet. The transaction isn’t considered final until it has been verified and added to the blockchain through a process called mining. This is also how new cryptocurrency tokens are usually created.

Cryptocurrency’s technical foundations date back to the early 1980s when an American cryptographer named David Chaum invented a “blinding” algorithm that remains central to modern web-based encryption.
Dogecoin, meanwhile, was trading up by less than one percent on the last 24 hours at $0.28 (£0.21) on Tuesday afternoon.
Even after falling back from its latest all-time high price, Bitcoin’s current price still represents a big upswing from the low $40,000 range seen in September.
After that, five percent of the tax is then allocated to people who still own SafeMoon currency. This is to prevent the price from dropping as people start selling the token.
