Why Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Other Cryptocurrencies Suddenly Crashed Friday Afternoon

A massive sell-off on Friday in the cryptocurrency market accelerated after the stock market closed on Wall Street.

As of 5:45 p.m. ET, Bitcoin is down 10.8% in the last 24 hours and 5.4% in just the last hour and a half to $35,724.
