After China's early September ban on initial coin offerings (ICOS), news on September 15 that bitcoin exchanges were shutting down following directives from government officials sparked a market drop that sent prices reeling to a low of $2,981.

Since then, however, markets have recovered, and this morning's session saw bitcoin reach a price of $4,061 at press time, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index.

Other cryptocurrencies are experiencing gains today as well. The combined cryptocurrency market capitalization is currently at $137 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data, up from a low of below $100 billion just three days ago.
