Bitcoin rose while Ether and most of the other top 10 non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies fell during afternoon trading in Asia on Monday. U.S. and European equities strengthened while Asian equities were mixed, after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned of potential financial stability risks in the wake of the banking turmoil. U.S. investors saw some relief after North Carolina-based First Citizens BancShares bought all the loans of failed Silicon Valley Bank.
