Bitcoin slid to the lowest since mid-December as the speculative demand for the token sparked by hype about new exchange-traded funds dissipates, leaving the cryptocurrency in the red since the start of 2024.

The largest digital asset flirted with a drop below $40,000 before trading at $40,843 as of 11:40 a.m. Friday in Singapore, a decline of 4% in the past 24 hours. Smaller tokens like Ether, Solana and Polkadot also struggled.
