It has been shaped by the highs and lows of 2017 and 2018. In December 2017, bitcoin hit an all-time high of nearly $20,000. Then it plunged into one of the longest bear markets in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>These extreme events helped stabilize the industry. Meanwhile, new players joined the market, while others left after losses. These changes prepared the industry for what was next. Overall, 2019 is a transitional year.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cryptocurrency_prices_and_stability\"><\/span>Cryptocurrency prices and stability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By many standards, the cryptocurrency industry is measured by the price of bitcoin and its fluctuations. After spending the better part of 2018 on a downward trend \u2013 with self-proclaimed analysts doubling down on their outrageous predictions \u2013 bitcoin started the year trading below $4,000.<\/p>\n<p>This was a far cry from its all-time-high but it fought back throughout the year. On June 26, bitcoin reached its highest price in nearly 17 months. The conversation on the bear market is nearly forgotten as people eye another ride in surpassing the all-time-high. It doesn\u2019t look probable at the time, but with bitcoin, no one really knows.<\/p>\n<p>According to TradingView, bitcoin is 115 percent in the green in year-to-date (YTD) performance.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2140 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_20.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_20.png 639w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_20-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_20-91x60.png 91w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_20-120x80.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 100vw, 639px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin is up 115 percent in Year-to-Date performance. \/\/Source: TradingView<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same cannot be said for altcoins as they are collectively having one of their worst years.

Projects like Libra\u2014set to launch in May next year\u2014are permissioned cryptocurrencies governed by the Swiss-based non-profit Libra Association. Its founding members include some of the biggest names across various industries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2143 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_22-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_22-1.png 616w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_22-1-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/icoholder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Screenshot_22-1-208x60.png 208w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>Libra Association founding members. \/\/Source: Libra white paper<\/i><\/p>\n<p>But Facebook\u2019s ambitions were met with hostile governments and regulators who believed that the social media giant\u2019s plans would destabilize the existing financial system. US President Donald Trump took to Twitter to proclaim that he is not a fan of Bitcoin and Libra. He went as far as saying that Facebook should acquire the required licenses if it wants to get into banking.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure got too much and seven of Libra Association\u2019s founding members \u2013 Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, eBay, Booking Holdings, PayPal, and Mercado Pago \u2013 have quit the project. Whether Facebook\u2019 Libra will see the light of day remains a hotly contested debate.<\/p>\n<p>However, Libra chief David Marcus claims that<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/10\/20\/in-a-big-reversal-libra-reportedly-could-peg-its-cryptocurrencies-to-national-currencies\/\"> Facebook will take a different approach<\/a> rather than give up altogether.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_regulation_and_the_innovation_arms_race\"><\/span>Crypto regulation and the innovation arms race<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Facebook\u2019s cryptocurrency project worried governments. They spoke out strongly against Libra and cryptocurrencies in general. Most lawmakers said Facebook must be carefully scrutinized before getting approval. Meanwhile, some countries are working on their own digital currencies.<\/p>\n<p>The People\u2019s Bank of China (PBoC) announced plans to speed up its national digital currency project. This project had been progressing very slowly over the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>Portugal became a darling of the crypto community after ruling that the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kellyphillipserb\/2019\/09\/19\/portugal-tax-authorities-clarify-that-buying-or-selling-cryptocurrency-is-tax-free\/#2ed7918577e3\"> buying and selling of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin are tax-free<\/a>. This comes at a time when the United States taxmen, the Internal Revenue Services (IRS), is cracking down on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Asia continues to be a major hub for the cryptocurrency market. The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drwealth.com\/cryptocurrency-singapore\/\"> cryptocurrency market in Singapore<\/a> is swimming in waters of caution.<\/p>\n<p>A report published by the Washington-based policy institute The Foundation for Defense Democracies (FDD) highlighted that America\u2019s adversaries \u2013 China, Russia, Venezuela, and Iran \u2013 are<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fdd-report-crypto-rogues.pdf\"> turning to cryptocurrencies to dilute US financial dominance<\/a> thanks to the use of the dollar as the world\u2019s reserve currency.<\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_under_pressure\"><\/span>Crypto under pressure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">North Korea added its name to the list. It announced that it is in the early stages of building its own cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) showed its strength in the crypto industry. It enacted new rules aimed at criminalizing so-called privacy coins. Following these rules, the South Korean branch of OKEX delisted privacy coins like Monero, Dash, Zcash, Horizen, and Super Bitcoin. Upbit also removed Monero, Dash, Zcash, Bittube, PIVX, and Haven from its trading pairs.<\/p>\n<p>Block.one, the company behind EOS.io \u2014 an Ethereum competitor that raised over $4 billion in its record-breaking ICO \u2014 paid a $24 million fine. The fine was to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for failing to register its ICO as a securities offering.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most anticipated event of the year was the fate of Bakkt, owned by Intercontinental Exchange. The New York State Department of Financial Services approved Bakkt to offer custody services for physically delivered bitcoin futures.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_is_still_a_crime_magnet\"><\/span>Crypto is still a crime magnet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It will take a while before criminal activities are eliminated from the crypto space.

The suggestion was not well received by the community and after cooling down, Zhao apologized for the statement.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The state of crypto market in 2019 was marked by significant challenges, with CipherTrace labeling it \u201cThe Year of Exit Scams\u201d after investors lost nearly $2.9 billion in a suspected exit scam perpetrated by South Korean exchange Plus Token.
