1232 GMT - Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fall as investors exercise caution ahead of key U.S. economic data, Saxo Bank analysts say in a note. "The broader picture remains consolidation-driven, rather than trend-driven, as investors wait for clarity on inflation and [interest] rates." The nonfarm payrolls report is due at 1330 GMT followed by inflation data on Friday with both key for U.S. rate expectations. There's demand for put options that bet on falls in Coinbase and MicroStrategy, suggesting investors are tightening risks around crypto-linked equities, they say. However, exchange traded fund flows data show bitcoin-tracking iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF recorded inflows Tuesday while Ether flows were "modestly positive." Bitcoin falls 2.4% to $67,017, LSEG data show. Ether falls 2.7% to $1,953. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
