Bitcoin's recent run of stability came to a dramatic end in November, when a cryptocurrency market crash saw billions of dollars wiped from its value in the space of just a few days.

The collapse is the latest in a year of falling prices for the world's most valuable cryptocurrency, having traded close to $20,000 in December 2017.

Ethereum, ripple and bitcoin cash have all been hit by the latest price falls, as the notoriously volatile cryptocurrency market continues to fall to new 2018 lows.

All the latest news, analysis and predictions will be updated regularly here.
