According to The Block, Bitcoin declined below $81,500 on Friday morning as a tech stock sell-off extended into Asian equity markets. South Korea’s Kospi index fell 2.3%, and Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 1.6% during early trading hours. The movement followed continued weakness in technology sector shares earlier in the week, which had already prompted price adjustments in several major cryptocurrencies. No additional details about timing beyond the Friday morning observation were provided. The sell-off impacted both U.S.-listed tech equities and corresponding overseas indices in Asia, with declines evident in key regional benchmarks. The Block reported the development as part of an ongoing market correction affecting multiple asset classes.
