BTC, ETH, DOGE price news: Doge slides 8%, Bitcoin under $84,000 in crypto sell-off
Bitcoin fell 2% to $83,900, while Dogecoin dropped 7% as Treasury yields rose to their highest level since 2007, driven by strong U.S. business activity and higher oil prices. Other cryptocurrencies like Zcash, XRP, and Hyperliquid also declined 5% to 6%.

Market read
Crypto assets reacted sharply to higher yields, indicating sensitivity to macro financing conditions.
What to watch
Potential inflows from institutional crypto funds could cushion the decline despite macro stress.
Background
Rising U.S. Treasury yields and strong business activity lifted borrowing costs, pressuring non‑yielding assets.

Further pressure possible if yields remain high.

Market effects
