China crackdown: Week 7
The summer of crackdowns continued this week, making it seven weeks since the initial announcement on May 18 that virtual currencies were a risky investment and financial institutions should not provide services for them. The crackdown appears to be having a desired effect as public interest in the asset class is cooling. This is evident by 90-day lows on WeChat searches for the word Bitcoin over the past weekend, although this was a trend mirrored on worldwide Google searches as well.
