Traders have been hitting the sell button in a hurry after Forbes reported that hackers had stolen 913 Bitcoins from a small Canadian cryptocurrency exchange. According to Forbes, the MapleChange exchange attempted to reassure users that the US$6 million theft will be thoroughly investigated but warned that it would be unable to make refunds. It then deleted its social media accounts and took its website offline. This news appears to have spooked traders and reminded them of the dangers involved in buying cryptocurrencies and how theres little that you can do if they are stolen from you.

Here is the state of play at the time of writing compared to 24 hours ago: The Bitcoin (BTC) price is down 2.3% to US$6,326.20 per coin, reducing the crypto giants market capitalisation to US$109.75 billion. The Ethereum (ETH) price has fallen 3.9% to US$196.39. This decline leaves Ethereum with a market capitalisation of US$20.2 billion. The Ripple (XRP) price has dropped 4.4% to 43.83 U.S. cents. This has reduced the XRP market capitalisation to US$17.6 billion. The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) price has tumbled 4.7% lower to US$416.65 per token. The Bitcoin Cash market capitalisation has fallen to just under US$7.3 billion following this decline. The EOS (EOS) price is down 5.1% to US$5.13 per token, leaving EOS with a market capitalisation of US$4.65 billion. Outside the top five the declines continued with Stellar (XLM) falling 3.9%, Litecoin (LTC) dropping 5%, Tether (USDT) sliding 0.2%, Cardano (ADA) tumbling 5.1%, and Monero (XMR) falling 2.2%.

That is so sad 6 million in crypto stolen and they might not be able to give refunds.
