Market players remain concerned about possible regulation of the virtual currency among other adverse events in the industry.
New York's Department of Financial Services proposed a BitLicense on July 17. As per the proposal, firms would have to obtain a license to engage in the virtual currency business.
Some market analysts have expressed concerns over the proposal, saying increased regulation would pressurize the Bitcoin industry.

Bitcoin is digital cash and is not backed by a government or central bank to regulate or issue it. It can be used to purchase goods and services from stores and online retailers.
