Worried traders dumped bitcoin positions again on Thursday as it failed to serve as an insurance asset amidst rising Coronavirus fears.<\/p>\n

The bitcoin-to-dollar exchange rate<\/a> fell to $8,520 in a massive overnight selling, extending its net week-to-date losses by up to 15.05 percent. The downside move came alongside a $$196 million worth of bitcoin liquidations on BitMEX, a crypto derivative platform that offers up to 100x leverage.<\/p>\n
