Crypto Stocks Tumble Amid Broader Market Rout Impacting Bitcoin and Major Tech Shares
March 27, 2026, 12:20 PM EDT. Crypto stocks plunged sharply on Friday, dragged down by weakness in U.S. equities and heightened risk aversion. Bitcoin slid below $66,000, down roughly 45% from its October peak, while major crypto exchanges Coinbase, Gemini, and Galaxy saw declines of 7% to 9%. Mining firms and balance sheet plays including Riot Platforms and Strategy Lost between 5% and 8%. The selloff extends beyond crypto: roughly $17 trillion has been wiped from the major tech stocks, including Nvidia and Microsoft. Market concerns mounting as Federal Reserve officials warn of inflation risks from rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions. The Nasdaq 100 is in correction territory, down over 10% from its high. Investors now brace for potential Fed rate hikes instead of cuts amid mixed economic signals, weighing heavily on risky assets across the board.
