Whaaaa? This article--thanks for posting it, by the way--is about a crackdown on ICOs, and I don't think that's a bad idea at all, since most are scammy. That kind of regulation isn't a bad thing in my opinion. The article also stresses that they're cracking down on "fraudulent activity", not bitcoin or even crypto in general.
As far as this little piece of news being responsible for the recent dip, it certainly could be. The only external variable that seems to affect the price of btc is rumor or news, but I'd argue that the crypto community has heard much worse news than this, so it shouldn't cause the price to drop $1000 (or whatever bitcoin has done in the past week or so).
I'd say if bitcoin survived the IRS looking into Coinbase's customers' trade history, it'll survive this inquiry. This news shouldn't even cause a bump in the price. However I'm not quite sure what, if anything, is causing the current price drop except basic market forces. I'm hoping we rebound soon. *EH*.
