With a market cap of $178.5 billion, the largest cryptocurrency has slipped somewhat since a late-June bull market saw BTC peak just shy of $13,900, a price point that had, in turn, not been seen January of 2018.

Yesterday saw hearings on broad crypto regulations before the US Senate Banking Committee, during which Committee Chair Mike Crapo stated that:
