In two weeks, the price of Ethereum dropped from $470 to $260, marking its lowest point this year by plummeting below the $300 mark for its first time since early November last year.
The whole Crypto market faced a sharp decline in real valuation, losing almost $150 billion of its real valuation in within a month.

On August 14, even after experiencing such a great plunge in price, Ether plummeted 18% of its value against the US dollar, falling from $300 to $260 within a half-day span.
