Bitcoin rebounded as a bout of acute geopolitical tension eased after earlier sparking steep drops in cryptocurrencies.

The digital asset at one point Friday sank more than 6% to $59,643 but later steadied to change hands at $64,640 as of 10:55 a.m. in New York. Tokens such as Ether, Solana and meme-crowd favorite Dogecoin also stabilized.
