#IsraelStrikesIranBTCPlunges
April 19 (Reuters) - Cryptocurrencies fell heavily and bitcoin broke below $60,000 on Friday in a rush out of risky assets following reports of an Israeli missile strike on Iran.
Bitcoin slid more than 5.5% to $59,961 in the Asia session as the U.S. dollar rose broadly. Ether fell by a similar margin, dropping below the $3,000 barrier to $2,895.
Iranian media reported explosions, but an Iranian official told Reuters those were caused by air defense systems. State media said three drones over the central city of Isfahan had been shot down.
Israel's leadership and the military were silent early on Friday.
By 0600 GMT, as these details emerged, safe-haven assets such as oil, gold and bonds which had rallied sharply on initial news of the attack were off their highs.
