Bank of England Warns of Crypto Spillover to Mainstream Markets

- In the report published Tuesday, the U.K. central bank pointed to bearish conditions in the crypto market since May that have seen the price of bitcoin fall by around 50%.

- "These developments could increase the interlinkages between cryptoassets and other systemic financial markets and institutions," the report said.
