Stock Track | MARA Holdings Plummets 5.02% on Hawkish Fed Outlook and Crypto Sell-off

Stock Track12-20 01:16

MARA Holdings, a leading cryptocurrency mining company, saw its stock price plummet by 5.02% on Thursday's trading session, underperforming the broader market. The sell-off in MARA's shares was primarily driven by the broader cryptocurrency market sell-off and the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance on interest rates.

The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut on Wednesday, but the central bank's policymakers signaled a more cautious approach for future rate reductions in 2025. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments about the central bank not being allowed to own Bitcoin and not seeking a law to change that further fueled the cryptocurrency sell-off.

Consequently, major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether experienced significant declines, with Bitcoin briefly dipping below the $100,000 mark. As a company heavily reliant on cryptocurrency mining operations, MARA Holdings was caught in the crosshairs of this broader market sell-off.
