The cryptocurrency bitcoin, star of the markets in 2021, begins the new year sharply down, a victim of the risk aversion of investors who expect a tightening of monetary policy in the United States. Around 5:20 p.m., bitcoin gave up 4.8% to $ 41,061, down more than 10% over the first sessions of the year and a few moments after having hit a low since September at $ 40,634.65.
