Bitcoin posted its steepest drop in almost four months as traders moved to lock in profits following a more than 150% rally this year, triggering large liquidations of bullish bets.
The largest token sank as much as 7.7% on Monday, the biggest intraday decline since Aug. 18. It pared some losses to trade 7.5% lower at $40,524 at 2:32 p.m. in New York. Most major cryptocurrencies fell, with an index of the largest 100 digital assets sliding the most since November.
