Cryptocurrency stocks, including MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN), dipped 6% and over 5%, respectively, amid a broader market downturn following an overnight plunge in Bitcoin’s value on Monday.
Bitcoin miners like Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), Riot Platforms (RIOT), Hut 8 (HUT), and CleanSpark (CLSK) suffered even steeper losses, ranging from 10% to 15%.
Bitcoin miners, including Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), Riot Platforms (RIOT), Hut 8 (HUT), and CleanSpark (CLSK), faced steeper losses of 10-15% as a Sunday correction led BTC to drop nearly 10% to $41,700, with the broader crypto market down 5%, signaling a negative trend.
Despite these setbacks, crypto stocks in 2023 have shown resilience, doubling in value since the year’s start. This surge is attributed to a crypto market boom, lower interest rates, and growing expectations for U.S. regulatory approval of a Bitcoin ETF.
The recent market downturn, however, underscores the volatility inherent in the crypto landscape.
