Bitcoin Drops Under $68,000 as Oil Tops $90

Crypto markets declined for a second day, with investors remaining cautious heading into the weekend amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Global markets face pressure after oil spiked another 14% today, with prices now exceeding $90 per barrel for the first time since 2023.
