Among the top 15 currencies, 11th ranked NEO managed to squeak out a 0.56% gain, while 15th ranked ICON Project managed a 15.56% rise. While the market recovered shortly after the cryptocurrency trading ban rumors were refuted by the South Korean government and the Blue House, the executive office of President Moon Jae-in, on Jan. 12, the market suffered another major correction this weekend. Among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, only 20 managed not to lose valuation in the last 24 hours, according to CCN.com.

Third-ranked Ripple lost 9.55% and fourth-ranked Bitcoin Cash dropped 9.32%. 1 Day Change The market continues to struggle following South Korea’s Justice Minister Park Sang-ki false claim on Jan. 11 that the government is drafting a law to effectively ban cryptocurrency trading. 1-Day Chang The price of most major cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, and Cardano plunged, recording over 10 percent in daily losses. 1 Day Change Currencies with their daily trading volumes heavily concentrated in the South Korean market such as Qtum, EOS, and Zcash fell by larger margins. Crypto Market Valuation Suffers Big In the past 24 hours, the valuation of the cryptocurrency market fell from $742 billion to $683 billion, by nearly $60 billion. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Stellar, and IOTA recorded almost 10 percent in daily decline, while smaller cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Gold and Tron demonstrated larger losses in value.
