Crypto stocks tumbled in premarket trading after Bitcoin falling more than 8% as cryptos stumble over Biden tax plans.Canaan Inc. and Riot Blockchain fell more than 9%,Marathon Digital,The9 and SOS Limited fell nearly 8%,Bit Digital fell nearly 7%,Coinbase fell nearly 4%.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies suffered hefty losses on Friday amid fears that U.S. President Joe Biden's plan to raise capital gains taxes will curb investment in digital assets.

Bitcoin slumped 8% to below $48000 / piece in a third straight session of losses while Ether and XPR suffered double digit tumbles.

"The crypto currency came under fresh pressure on the Biden tax headlines," Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid wrote in a note to clients.

Bitcoin, the world's biggest cryptocurrency, is on track for a 15% loss on the week. However, the latest tumbles come in the wake of a sharp rally with Bitcoin still up 65% since the start of the year.

    Everyone should allocate 1-3% of crypto as their investments. Literally no harm.

    I don’t believe crypto should be more that 5-15% of your total investment path. It’s literally like gambling in Las Vegas or Macao. Be safe.
