Bitcoin lost 2% to trade just below $77,000 during Tuesday morning in Asia, reversing Monday's recovery. A worsening decline in US chip stocks pulled Asian equities lower ahead of Tuesday's US midterm elections. CoinDesk data showed ZEC falling nearly 10% to about $1,140, while ether declined about 2% to slightly above $2,250.
