The drop builds on a recent pullback, and leaves the world’s biggest cryptocurrency down more than $10,000 from the record intraday high of nearly $73,679 it hit Wednesday.

The digital token recently traded at about $62,800, down 6% from Monday’s 4 p.m. ET price.

Ether dropped about 7% to $3,253.

Shares of Coinbase, the U.S.’s largest crypto exchange, fell 8.5%.

Bitcoin prices were due a correction, given market exuberance since exchange-traded funds based on spot bitcoin launched earlier this year, said Ilan Solot, a strategist at London-based Marex Solutions.

These ETFs saw net outflows Monday, as investors pulled money out of funds run by Grayscale, Solot said.
