Why It Matters: Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, took a major hit as it plunged below the $26,000 mark for the first time in two months. Investors have been turning increasingly risk-averse, with global government bond yields reaching their highest levels in about 15 years, amplifying the apprehension in the market.
The downward trajectory of Bitcoin can be traced back to the news of China’s Evergrande Group, a prominent property developer, filing for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in New York. Around the same time, reports began to circulate regarding Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which wrote down the value of its Bitcoin holdings by a staggering $373 million.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $26,402.90, down 8% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
