Bitcoin was little changed after rallying more than 16% over the past two days as the possibility of expanding sanctions was raised to prevent Russians from using cryptocurrencies to circumvent restrictions.

The largest digital asset fluctuated between gains and losses and traded at around $43,870 as of 1:02 p.m. in New York. Ether was also little changed, while many altcoins also swung between gains and losses.
