Bitcoin falls to near one-month low

Bitcoin hit a near one-month low on Wednesday and has seen more than $12 billion wiped off its value in the last 30 days, amid nervousness in the cryprocurrency market.

The price of bitcoin fell to $2,272.32, its lowest level since June 15, when it slumped to $2,185.96, according to data from CoinDesk. The price did recover on Wednesday slightly to a high of $2,354.41.

It's also significantly off the $3,025.47 all-time high reached on June 11, just over a month ago. In this timeframe, its market capitalization or value has fallen by $12.2 billion.

A major pullback is taking place at the moment in the cryptocurrency world after huge rallies. When bitcoin hit its record high in June, it had seen a more than 600 percent rally since the start of the year. Even with Wednesday's fall, it is still up nearly 450 percent year-to-date.

Cryptocurrency traders are also uncertain with some unsure about the future trading pattern for bitcoin.

Roy Sebag, who is the CEO of GoldMoney, a platform to let people buy and trade the precious metal, is also a notable investor in cryptocurrencies. But the entrepreneur told CNBC via a Twitter exchange that he sold most of his bitcoin holdings because the market has reached the top.
