Bitcoin’s having its worst week this year, and the rest of the cryptocurrency market isn’t doing much better.

The world’s largest digital asset fell about 15% this week to around $10,145, the biggest five-day slide since November. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index has slumped about 12%, only the worst drop in four weeks.
