Bitcoin Tumbles Below $77K as US Inflation Data Fuels Rate Hike Fears
Bitcoin fell sharply on Friday after US producer inflation data surpassed expectations, causing concerns about future Fed rate hikes. This sent 30-year Treasury yields to a 19-year high.
The strong US inflation reading pushed Bitcoin below $77,300, marking a significant decline for the cryptocurrency.
Ethereum, however, managed to stay relatively stable, rising by 0.10% to $2,468.
