Bitcoin and Coinbase Stocks Face Pressure Amid Economic Uncertainty and Market Sell-Off

Key Points

1. Shares of major US crypto companies dropped between 7% and 16% amid a broader market sell-off, influenced by weak US jobs data and tariff concerns.

2. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported only 73,000 new jobs created last month, significantly below the expected 100,000, complicating the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts.

3. Bitcoin's pullback below $115,000 from highs near $120,000 amplified losses in crypto stocks, which are often seen as leveraged bets on BTC’s price movements.

4. Coinbase’s stock fell despite strong revenue of $1.5 billion, as falling transaction volumes disappointed investors.

5. Weak US job data and broader economic challenges contributed to the sell-off in crypto stocks, reflecting heightened market uncertainty.
