Financial news publication Yicai reported overnight that, per a source close to decisionmakers, China plans to enact further virtual-currency regulations.
The revelation follows an initial Monday announcement that China had banned the exploding practice of initial coin offerings (ICOs), which entail launching token-based digital currencies for fundraising purposes.
Ethereum tumbled some 20% Monday on the news, according to Coindesk, and Bitcoin also lost ground.
