The biggest cryptocurrency fell 8.5per cent to US$7,250, its lowest since Jan. 3. It has lost nearly 20per cent of its value in the last five days, mirroring sharp losses for assets from stocks to oil."We've seen de-risking across all asset markets," said Jamie Farquhar, portfolio manager at London-based crypto firm NKB."Bitcoin is certainly not immune to that."
