We are back again with our weekly refresh of all things crypto. The crypto refresh is designed to bring you a weeks’ worth of cryptocurrency news in a bitesize format. We appreciate that you might not always have time to trawl through the headlines so therefore, each weekend we summarise the best bits for you. Of course, this is a concise version of events, we can’t fit it all into the crypto refresh or we would be here all day, so, for a full and comprehensive summary of the week, feel free to browse our archives at your leisure, here’s a good place to start- https://cryptodaily.co.uk/category/breaking-news/ Coinrail, Hacked https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2018/06/coinrail-hack-sees-markets-crash-as-40-million-stolen/ South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Coinrail fell victim of a $40 Million hack, a hack that is being blamed on the plummeting market which we have witnessed this week.

Of course, this hack isn’t the primary reason for the state of the markets, but it sure did knock the wind out of our sails.
