Why is Bitcoin crashing today?

Wait 5 sec.

Bitcoin fell below $68,000 as markets braced for President Trump’s 17-hour deadline on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.Gold dropped into a bear market, down 22% from its record high, while gold and silver wiped out about $2 trillion in combined market value in just three hours.The bigger pressure point looks like the 10-year Treasury yield, which hit 4.40% after rising 45 basis points in three weeks, adding stress across risk assets.
