The ether fell 15 percent to less than $ 4,000 (EUR 3,535). The total value of all digital coins in circulation worldwide fell by almost a fifth to about 2.2 trillion dollars.
Bitcoin hit a record level of approximately $69,000 (61,000 euros) in November, but after the discovery of omikron, the value fell sharply. Due to the uncertainty about the new virus variant, investors sold more risky investments such as digital currencies and sought so-called safe havens such as bonds, certain currencies such as the Japanese yen and the dollar, as well as gold. These are investment categories that are reasonably stable in value.
