As the price of Bitcoin stopped its upward trend and turned downward, it appears to be affecting cryptocurrency-related stocks as well. According to the global cryptocurrency market tracking site CoinMarketCap, at the same time, Bitcoin was down 2.55% from the previous day, trading at $22,823 (approximately 29.93 million KRW).
