As U.S. Futures Predict More Bitcoin Losses, Crypto Stocks Experience a Pre-Market Slide

Crypto Market Declines Spill Over to Stocks, U.S. Futures Indicate Further Bitcoin Losses

The ongoing chaos in the cryptocurrency markets has begun to impact stocks of crypto-related companies, with U.S. futures suggesting continued losses in equities. Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to follow suit, as it often mirrors the movements of U.S. stock markets.

S&P 500 futures slid 1.4%, Dow Jones futures dropped 1.2%, and futures on the Nasdaq 100, known for its tech-heavy composition, fell 1.7%.

Shares of Japan’s Metaplanet (3350), often compared to MicroStrategy for its Bitcoin treasury, plunged by 9.44% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Crypto-focused venture fund SBI Holdings also saw a 3.60% drop.

U.S.-listed stocks, including Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR), were down more than 5.9% in pre-market trading, while mining stocks like MARA Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) lost 6%. The T-Rex 2x Long MSTR Daily Target ETF, which offers 200% returns of MicroStrategy’s daily performance, saw a 9.6% decline.

Pre-market trading, which happens before the official market opens, is known for higher volatility due to lower liquidity and the participation of institutional investors.

The crypto market suffered a blow on Monday after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, with the possibility of additional tariffs on the European Union. This news led to declines in stock markets across Asia and Europe, while the U.S. dollar strengthened as investors pulled capital from riskier assets. XRP and Ether (ETH) lost 25%, as cryptocurrencies followed the broader market trend of shifting away from higher-risk investments.
