TREE NEWS reports: Bitcoin dropped below $81,000 as risk-off sentiment hit Asian equities on Thursday. South Korea’s Kospi fell 8% and Japan’s Nikkei 225 lost 5% in morning trading, with the crypto market moving in step with the broader retreat from risk assets.

AI take
The takeaway is correlation, not the level: crypto is trading as a high-beta risk asset, moving in lockstep with an equity selloff rather than on any crypto-specific catalyst. That matters for anyone holding bitcoin as a portfolio diversifier, since the diversification argument weakens precisely when it is needed most. Whether this equity-led pressure continues, or whether crypto decouples once Asian markets stabilise, is the open question worth watching.
