Coinbase, MicroStrategy and miners fell as equity markets declined worldwide.
Software company MicroStrategy, which holds over 210,000 BTC, and bitcoin miner Hut 8 led declines as bitcoin dropped to the lowest level since late February.
Crypto-focused stocks also bounced higher, led by bitcoin miners Riot Platforms and Hut 8.
Bitcoin climbed over $46,000 for the first time in nearly a month early Friday, extending its gain for the week to nearly 10%.
The days of rising crypto prices lifting all boats, including mining stocks, may be gone. But it still looks like being a good year for digital assets, says Alex Tapscott.
The decline happened as bitcoin spiked above $45,000 during the day as traders anticipate an imminent spot BTC ETF decision in the U.S.
Bitcoin slipped below $42,000 on Friday, stalling below its yearly high.
A “flash crash” in thin trading Sunday evening, saw bitcoin’s price plunge nearly 10% from the $44,000 level in the space of a few minutes.
COIN, MSTR, HOOD and mining stocks were all showing upward movement in pre-market trading after BTC rose to its highest level in 18 months.
