Bitcoin falls to $68,000 amid Anthropic IPO buzz and broader market unease

Bitcoin dropped to around $68,000 in a sell-off that has unsettled crypto investors. Analysts say the decline does not appear to be directly tied to Nvidia, despite the chipmaker being mentioned in market commentary. Instead, they point to capital flowing toward the anticipated Anthropic initial public offering, which may be pulling money away from crypto assets. A wider shift toward risk-averse positioning across markets is also cited as contributing to the drop. The movement reflects heightened nervousness among traders rather than a single identifiable catalyst.
