Bitcoin slides after false ETF approval post

Bitcoin slid Tuesday after the Securities and Exchange Commission’s social media account — which was compromised — sent a false social media post stating the regulatory agency had approved a long-awaited bitcoin exchange-traded fund. Immediately after the first post, the world’s largest cryptocurrency jumped to as high as $47,901 to its highest level since March 2022, but later traded lower by 3%.
