- The Bitcoin price declined by 8% and was trading below USD 35,000.
- Ethereum broke through the level of USD 2,400, XRP fell by 11%.
- Several altcoins have fallen by double digits. The entire crypto market once again followed the exchange and fell on Thursday, when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a "special military operation" to protect people in the separatist Donbas region of Ukraine, but said that Russia would "seek demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine," according to Bloomberg. It is estimated that Putin had
massaged soldiers at the border. In a speech on Thursday, Putin appealed to the Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms and go home. He said that Russia does not plan to "occupy" its southern neighbor, but Russia must "defend itself against those who took Ukraine hostage" – the US and its allies, who crossed Russia’s "red line" with the expansion of the NATO alliance. U.S. Stock futures and stocks fell on Thursday, while bonds jumped and oil rose after the news.
