Crypto shares dropped in Tuesday trading.
Riot Platforms down 7%; Marathon Digital down 6%; Microstrategy down 5%; Coinbase Global down 4%; Bitfarms down 3.5%.
Bitcoin fell markedly in Tuesday morning trading after U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded outflows for the first time in weeks.
The original cryptocurrency slumped 3.7% to $66.8K at 9:47 a.m. ET, extending its decline from the recent all-time high of over $73K. Other major tokens changed hands in the green as well, including ether, -3.9%, cardano, -4.1%, solana, -3.7%, and dogecoin, -3.3%.
The retreat in bitcoin comes after U.S.-listed ETFs investing directly in BTC logged cumulative outflows of $64.9M on June 10, the first loss since at least May 23, according to provisional data published by Farside Investors on its website.
The risk-off behavior seen in the equity markets, ahead of key inflation data and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, might also be driving the broader decline in crypto prices.
