Crypto price crash LIVE – Bitcoin bounces back above $40,000 after Elon Musk says Tesla wont sell cryptocurrencies

BITCOIN has bounced back above $40,000 after it yesterday suffered one of its worst crashes since last year.

The crash on Wednesday was driven by China banning financial institutions from offering crypto related transactions, and warned investors against speculative trading in them.

And the cryptocurrency is still ahead of Tesla, as well as payment giants like Mastercard, PayPal and Visa.

It comes after Bitcoin plunged last week as Elon Musk said Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin payments to buy cars.

But Cardano, Ethereum and dogecoin all remained steady following the billionaire’s announcement.
