  2. Bitcoin and Ether Plunge to Multi-Month Lows Amid Recession Worries
  
  Bitcoin and ether plunged to multi-month lows on Monday as concerns over a potential U.S. recession, spurred by weak economic data, gripped financial markets and triggered a rush out of risky assets.
  
  This selloff marks a dramatic reversal from just days earlier when optimism, fueled by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's speech, pushed bitcoin above the $70,000 mark for the first time in over a month.
  
  Crypto markets have seen a boost this year after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved exchange-traded funds to track the spot prices of bitcoin and ether. However, more recently, these currencies have tumbled alongside global equities, as investors fear a looming U.S. recession, compounded by rising geopolitical concerns.
  
  Bitcoin has lost over a third of its value since hitting a record high in March. Its increasing correlation with equities has also undermined its reputation as a safe-haven asset.
