Bitcoin (BTC) Slips as Traders Take Profits After Trump’s Crypto Order

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies tumbled, following technology stocks lower, as the emergence of a new Chinese artificial-intelligence model triggered a global selloff in riskier assets.

The original cryptoasset fell as much as 6.5% to below $100,000 on Monday, the biggest intraday drop since Dec. 6, before paring its loss in half and trading at about $101,500 as of 10:54 a.m. in New York. Smaller tokens suffered even deeper losses, with XRP sliding as much as 14% and Solana dropping 11% before both trimmed their declines. The crypto slide mirrored weakness across most equity markets, with US technology stocks leading declines.
