Bitcoin reels below $90,000, global market jitters combine with Bybit hack

LONDON (Reuters) -Bitcoin hit its lowest in over three months on Tuesday, as nerves in markets over U.S. tariffs reinforced the blow to crypto investor confidence from last week's $1.5 billion hack of ether from the Bybit exchange. Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market value, broke below $90,000 to its lowest since November 18, falling by as much as 7.5% at one point. Global investors have been jittery of late on signs the so-called exceptionalism of the U.S. economy might be fading, while President Donald Trump prepares to impose tariffs.
