The weakness carried into U.S. pre-market trading, with CoreWeave (CRWV) down 4%, Cipher Digital CIFR falling 2% and IREN IREN losing 3%. The Invesco QQQ ETF also traded lower, reflecting broader pressure on technology stocks.
Bitcoin edged lower over the past 24 hours but held above $81,000, while gold slipped almost 1% to just above $4,110 an ounce. Brent and WTI crude oil each climbed a further 2%.
