Ethereum hit a 16-month low of $170.58 on Wednesday. The CEO of a crypto firm Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz tweeted on Thursday that bitcoin is at its bottom.

“I think we put in a low yesterday. Retouched the highs of late last year and the point of acceleration that led to the massive rally/bubble…markets like to retrace to the breakout…we retraced the whole of the bubble.”

According to a Bloomberg report, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) has some plans for trading in derivatives tied to Bitcoin after its rival Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: GS) reported to abandon plans to open a desk to trade digital tokens owing to the unclear regulatory framework.

Even Japan echoed its sentiments regarding the rise in cryptocurrency prices. The software firm ‘Synchronoss Technologies, telecom group ‘Softbank’ and blockchain company TBCASoft ended up with a PoC (Proof of Concept) trial for a new mobile payments system that helps to enable the global peer-to-peer electronic payment system across the different carriers.
