Due to worries about an impending banking catastrophe, traditional and cryptocurrency markets both declined.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at about $24,400 after surging past $26,000 on Tuesday and hitting a 10-month peak.  Ether, with a price of $1,650, was also down.

After Switzerland’s central bank and financial regulator said they would provide a liquidity backstop if necessary, it was reported that Credit Suisse dropped 14% despite shares trading higher in after-hours trading.

The S&P 500 dropped 0.7% while the Nasdaq 100 barely changed in the traditional U.S. markets. While MicroStrategy fell by 0.8% and Galaxy Digital by 7.0%, Bitcoin increased by 2.9%.
