Stock Track11-22 22:38

Bit Digital, Inc. (BTBT), a cryptocurrency mining company, saw its stock plummet by 5.01% in pre-market trading on Friday, as the broader crypto market experienced a sell-off.

The decline in Bit Digital's stock came amidst a broader downturn in crypto-related stocks, with various companies, including MicroStrategy, Canaan, Bakkt Holdings, Riot Platforms, Marathon Digital, Hut 8 Mining, Bitfarms, and Coinbase, all seeing their shares drop in pre-market trading after initially posting gains.

This reversal in crypto stocks appears to be driven by regulatory uncertainty in the United States. While Bitcoin hit a record high of $99,000 earlier, investors grew cautious ahead of expected changes in the regulatory environment. The current SEC Chair, Gary Gensler, who oversaw a flurry of crypto enforcement actions during his tenure, is set to step down on January 20th, when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
