Bitcoin lingered around $40,000 while investors debated whether the original cryptocurrency was a safe haven amid Russia’s assault on Ukraine.

The largest cryptocurrency was little changed Saturday in New York. It slumped the past two days after jumping 17% from Monday through Wednesday. Ether, the No. 2 token, edged higher Saturday. Leading altcoins lower, Polkadot and Solana were mixed over the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
