A technical glitch caused a Filipino cryptocurrency exchange PDAX to temporarily discount the price of Bitcoin to down from about $48,000 to $6,000. 

“Transactions grew by 70x over the past months,” said PDAX in its statement, overburdening the exchange and causing its trading engine to split apart at the seams.
