During yesterday's trading session cryptomarkets continued a long-term downtrend and literally collapsed, losing in one day what they had been accumulating for a long time; the total capitalization again approached $200 billion. Bitcoin has lost in value approximately 1000 dollars since yesterday, having reached the level of 6,400.
New sanctions for Russia will be introduced in November, as NATO confirmed the UK version of the poisoning of the Skripals. Yesterday the British police published information regarding the two suspected poisoners, who are Russian citizens. Furthermore, British Prime Minister Theresa May specified that these citizens are employees of the GRU. Recall that earlier on August 8, the first package of sanctions on this case was introduced and the Russian currency rate fell to two-year lows, therefore, due to the introduction of new sanctions, we expect a further weakening of the Russian ruble.
