Crypto shares fell in morning trading.
MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, Riot Blockchain fell over 6%; Coinbase, Canaan fell over 5%; Bit Digital fell over 3%.
Bitcoin tumbles below $40k, lowest since ETF debut.
It's the lowest level since the launch of 11 exchange-traded funds featuring the cryptocurrency earlier this month.
The e-coin's debut on New York exchanges had sparked enthusiasm among fans.
Bitcoin gained around 70% ahead of the launch as traders bet the ETFs would help draw in more everyday investors.
It's now fallen back by around 20%, and some analysts say the slump was always likely.
They note that bitcoin also tumbled following other big crypto events, such as the IPO for major exchange Coinbase.
