Bitcoin traded at about $76,000 on Thursday, down around 5% for the day, according to an ANP/Bloomberg report published by Nieuws.nl.
The report linked the cryptocurrency’s decline to a sell-off in US technology shares. It said the tech-heavy Nasdaq had fallen by around 5% during the trading session.
A later reading from market data provider Swiftedge put bitcoin perpetual futures at $75,838 at 21:25 GMT, down 5.8% since midnight GMT. Futures prices are not necessarily the same as the bitcoin price quoted in the ANP/Bloomberg report.
