Bitcoin dropped the most in almost two weeks, weighed down by cooling demand for dedicated US exchange-traded funds and ebbing bets on looser Federal Reserve monetary policy.
The digital asset fell as much as 7.4%, the biggest intraday decline since March 19, and traded around $65,400 at 10:09 a.m. in New York. Tokens earlier favored by the meme crowd such as Pepe and dogwifhat also slumped, sending a gauge of smaller digital assets sharply lower. The crypto declines came as equities markets in Europe and the US also dropped.
