“Long story short, some of the bigger ICOs are cashing in and contributing to a decline in price,” a user uploading the findings to Reddit concluded.

“Buckle up ladies and gents, we're going to have to endure the consequences of some of you becoming overzealous ICO flippers. Now the whole crypto market might be taking a hit.”

ETH has since recovered from two-month lows to climb above $200 Wednesday, with the averaged exchange data from Coinmarketcap showing the asset trading around $211 at press time.
