22 Jan 2021 / 08:38 H.

    SINGAPORE, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Bitcoin fell to an almost three-week low on Friday as profit taking and worries about extra regulation drive the cryptocurrency toward a weekly loss of more than 15%.

    Bitcoin fell nearly 5% to $29,300 early in the Asia session, its lowest since Jan. 4 and some 30% below its record high of $42,000 hit two weeks ago. (Reporting by Tom Westbrook; editing by Richard Pullin)
