Solana, ether and XRP lead majors lower as Iran strikes drive risk selloff

Solana led major cryptocurrencies lower after U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Solana fell more than 3% over the past 24 hours. Solana slipped back to about $100. Ether fell 2% to just above $2,414. XRP dropped nearly 2% to about $1.35. Tron fell more than 3% to roughly 32 cents. Bitcoin declined roughly 1% and traded near $77,500 during Asian trading hours on Wednesday. Dogecoin lost nearly 2% to just above 8 cents. HYPE fell more than 1% to about $83. BNB declined under 1% to $687, according to CoinDesk data. Every listed cryptocurrency traded higher over the past hour. The bid arrived as Asian equity markets took their worst losses. Friday's jobs report could determine whether Bitcoin breaks above $80,000. Strong employment data would bolster the case for a rate increase and pressure high-risk cryptocurrencies.
