Crypto prices skid
It's a tough day in cryptos with Ether leading the way lower in a 9.5% swoon. Bitcoin is down 5% to $6985.
The latest round of selling comes after Business Insider reports that Goldman Sachs is halting plans to build a crypto desk in part because of a tough and uncertain regulatory landscape. In December, Bloomberg reported that they aimed to have the desk running by June.

Ether is trading just above the August lows.
