The cryptocurrency market, led by Bitcoin, fell dramatically over the course of 24 hours for a loss of around $90 billion by Tuesday morning, according to CoinMarketCap data.
During the dive, Bitcoin fell by about 6 percent, reaching below $30,000 for the first time since June 22. This also marks a more than 50 percent drop from Bitcoin's all-time high of $65,000.
