Cryptocurrency prices fell collectively during trading on Friday, led by Bitcoin, as correction and profit-taking continued from record levels.

Investors shied away from high-risk assets amid fears of escalating geopolitical tensions following airstrikes launched by Israel on Iran in a new escalation of the war between them.

Bitcoin suffered significant losses, as it dropped notably this morning, falling below $104,000, while smaller cryptocurrencies recorded even larger losses.
