Many crypto stocks suffered sizable losses today. Among the day's notable underperformers were crypto exchange 
Coinbase (COIN), which tumbled 6.5%; stablecoin issuer 
Circle (CRCL), down 9.7%; and ETH treasury company Bitmine (BMRN), off 5.5% despite its $200M investment in Beast Industries.
What's the Scoop?
- Outsized Losses: Compared to muted drawdowns experienced by select tokens, the multi-digit losses suffered by crypto stocks felt magnitudes of order larger. Selling started at U.S. stock market's open, and reoccurred two hours ahead of the close.
- Unclear Catalyst: Although an exact catalyst is unknown, it is possible the selling is related to negative reactions regarding proposed crypto market structure clarity legislation, which may negatively impact large swaths of the crypto industry if enacted as written.
