The post Bitcoin Declines as Global Uncertainty Hits Risk Assets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Bitcoin drops below $66K as rising yields and macro tightening pressure risk assets. Geopolitical tensions and energy risks drive inflation fears and weaken crypto sentiment. Hawkish Federal Reserve outlook signals tighter liquidity and continued downside pressure. The crypto market dropped to 2% today extending its losses to $2.30 trillion as macroeconomic pressure weighed on risk assets.
