The Federal Reserve is casting a shadow over cryptocurrencies.
Like stocks, cryptocurrencies have extended a selloff to start the year because of expectations that the central bank will raise interest rates as early as March., the largest cryptocurrency, is down 8.7% year to date, according to CoinDesk, and the second-largest, ether, is down 14%. That has spilled over to publicly traded crypto companies. Coinbase Global Inc. is down 12% so far this year. Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. is down 21%. Riot Blockchain Inc. is down 16%.
