Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies tumbled on 22 February as investors fled risk-sensitive assets after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine.
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, was down 5% over the past 24 hours to around $37,000, according to data from CoinDesk. It had been trading hands near $45,000 for much of last week, but plunged below $40,000 on 18 February amid heightened geopolitical tensions.
