Cryptocurrency and blockchain-related stocks moved lower on Tuesday as bitcoin extended its losing streak for a third consecutive day. The world’s largest digital currency fell 5.9% to $67,185.38, hitting its weakest level since April 5. Ether also retreated, sliding 4.7% to $1,909.38, a price not observed in more than three months.

Among publicly traded companies tied to the crypto ecosystem, several saw share-price declines. Coinbase Global reported a drop of more than 5% during the trading session. Strategy, a company that carries bitcoin on its balance sheet, plunged 9.6% to its lowest level since mid-April; the firm disclosed on Monday that it had sold $2.5 million of bitcoin.

Retail trading platform Robinhood Markets fell roughly 4% in the session. Mining-focused names also moved lower: Mara Holdings declined about 2%, Bit Digital slid 5%, and Riot Platforms traded down slightly.

The session’s price movements encompassed a range of companies exposed to cryptocurrency price swings - from centralized exchanges and retail brokerages to publicly listed miners and corporates holding bitcoin directly. The losses recorded by these stocks coincided with the declines in the underlying digital-asset prices noted above.

Risks

  • Continued declines in major cryptocurrencies - as evidenced by bitcoin and ether falling during the session - present volatility risk for firms tied to digital-asset prices, including exchanges and miners.
  • Companies that hold bitcoin on their balance sheets face balance-sheet exposure - illustrated by Strategy's disclosed $2.5 million sale and its share-price drop.
  • Revenue and trading-volume sensitivity for retail platforms and exchanges could be affected by sustained cryptocurrency price moves, reflected in the session's share-price declines for Coinbase and Robinhood.
