Bitcoin, XRP Fall in a Bad Week for Cryptos. SEC Backs Nasdaq Plan to Tokenize Securities. — Barrons.com

Bitcoin was treading water at around $70,000 early Friday. The world's premier currency is on track to finish this week in the red, as energy price jumps linked to the war in Iran overshadowed a key U.S. regulatory breakthrough for digital assets.
Bitcoin was down 0.1% to $70,305, according to CoinDesk data. Over the past five trading days, the world's biggest cryptocurrency dropped by around 6.1%. Elsewhere, Ethereum and XRP were also trading in the red Friday — by 1.6% and 1%, respectively.
The Securities and Exchange Commission approved Nasdaq's plan Wednesday to allow the trading of certain equities and exchange-traded products in tokenized forms on the blockchain, the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies, The Wall Street Journal reported.
While the move was widely perceived as a regulatory win for digital assets, signs that the Iran war could stoke inflation and push central banks toward tighter monetary policy have been a net negative for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies this week.
Higher-for-longer interest rates, or even the prospect of rate hikes, are bad news for Bitcoin.
