Bitcoin (BTC) price drops below $64,000 as Japan triggers selloff

However, Ishiba’s selection over the weekend sparked a further rally in the yen and a rapid 5% drop in Japan’s Nikkei stock average, with the selling apparently spilling over into bitcoin, which quickly fell from around $66,000 to $63,300 . It was back to $63,800 at press time, down about 3% since late Friday.
