Bitcoin slipped in Tuesday trading, dropping from morning levels as investors continued to evaluate Trump administration trade policy.
The leading cryptocurrency by market cap was recently changing hands around $77,000 at its low for the day and down from levels around $80,000 seen earlier today.
Several crypto-related stocks were trading lower in afternoon action. Strategy (MSTR), the bitcoin buyer and software company formerly known as MicroStrategy, was recently off nearly 5%. Crypto exchange Coinbase Global (COIN) was down about 2%. Mara Holdings (MARA), a bitcoin miner, slid more than 4%.
