The largest digital asset dropped to a one-week low at one point on Monday before paring some of the decline to trade roughly 2.1% lower at $62,298 as of 7:34 a.m. in New York.

The Depository Trust Company — which provides settlement and clearing services in the US — on Friday said crypto-linked ETFs won’t get collateral value for line-of-credit facilities, stoking questions about any potential implications for digital-asset markets.
