The second most popular digital asset by market capitalisation led a crypto industry wide plunge in prices today. Ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency on the Ethereum network, fell by around 10 percent in just a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

The market wide dump follows a Chainalysis report referenced by Bloomberg earlier today. It claims that PlusToken, a multi-billion-dollar Chinese Ponzi scheme, has been dumping large amounts of various digital assets on the market and that there will be further dumps to come.<\/p>\n

Has Bloomberg Freaked Ethereum Investors?<\/h2>\n

Earlier today, NewsBTC<\/em> reported<\/a> on the abrupt Bitcoin market crash that took the price of the leading digital asset by market capitalisation to below $7,000 for the first time in weeks. As mentioned in the report, ETH led the plunge. Trader Hsaka (@HsakaTrades) pointed out that the ETH dip preceded that seen in the Bitcoin market by about two minutes.<\/p>\n
