After China's early September ban on initial coin offerings (ICOS), news on September 15 that bitcoin exchanges were shutting down following directives from government officials sparked a market drop that sent prices reeling to a low of $2,981.
Since then, however, markets have recovered, and this morning's session saw bitcoin reach a price of $4,061 at press time, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index.
