These 3 Crypto Stocks Now Sit on Tech’s ‘Stealth’ Bear Market List

Three crypto-linked companies have appeared on a list of 20 tech stocks that have fallen hard from their recent peaks. The three, Coinbase, Circle, and Robinhood, have respectively lost 56%, 44%, and 40% of their values, with market commentary account The Kobeissi Letter warning that it was a sign of a “stealth” bear market. Per The Kobeissi Letter’s list, the only companies worse hit than Coinbase were AppLovin and CoreWeave, with the former down 65% and the latter seeing 57% shaved off its stock price. Others included Oracle (-50%), SanDisk (-42%), and Seagate’s STX shares, which had dipped 39%.

Despite the stock declines, Robinhood and Circle have been expanding their businesses, with the trading platform recently partnering with Ripple in a deal that will cover the distribution of the latter’s RLUSD stablecoin, as well as institutional settlement, treasury management, and financing. Meanwhile, Circle has been building its own infrastructure, launching the Arc blockchain in September with more than 100 institutional and crypto participants and using USDC for transaction fees. However, Coinbase has had to deal with news that a security incident involving Amplitude, an analytics provider, had exposed some of its customers’ contact information. The exchange has
