<h2><strong>Crypto Market Faces Liquidation of $1 Billion</strong></h2>
The cumulative market of all major cryptocurrencies has dumped around $120 billion in market capitalization within a day with the crypto market totaling $1 billion, according to data from <a href="https://www.bybt.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bybt</a>.

The enhanced volatility in a relatively short period has proved to be a fatal cause for leveraged traders.

Even though Bitcoin was mostly responsible for more than 50% of the entire number, the largest single liquidation came from EOS. The single trader lost more than $6 million on <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/huobi-china-restricts-derivatives-leverage-trading-to-new-users/">Huobi</a> as the price of EOS slipped by 15% in a day.

Bitcoin’s price has jumped to a two-week low of just over $32,000 as more anti-Bitcoin news has emerged from China.
<h2><strong>AgBank Releases  Public Statement Against Cryptocurrencies</strong></h2>

The statement was originally published in Chinese on its website and translated to English and shared across social media sites.

Bitcoin's price dropped below $32,000 shortly after the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/alibaba-joins-chinas-crypto-crackdown-issues-warning-against-miners/">Chinese bank</a> released the now-deleted announcement, with the altcoins losing up to double-digits.

AgBank is the first major state bank to make a public statement against cryptocurrencies after China's State Council last month vowed to crack down on bitcoin trading and mining, citing dangers associated with speculative trading.

Meanwhile, on 18<sup>th</sup> June, the government intensified its crackdown on cryptocurrency mining by ordering the closure of 26 suspected crypto mining projects in Sichuan.
