Ethereum (ETH), like most of the crypto market, suffered a major decline as U.S. Tax concerns and China’s increasingly rigid stance on mining ignited another market sell-off.
The sell-off saw ETH lose more than 15% of its value on Tuesday, November 16th, resulting in ETH trading at as low as $4,144, its lowest price since October 28th. With the market now stabilizing, Ethereum is trading at $4160.90, at the time of writing.
