The big news sending crypto stocks lower today is the price of Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) crashing over the weekend. BTC saw a sharp drop in value late Friday that spooked investors in various crypto shares.

Bitcoin regained some of its lost ground following that drop but didn’t jump back up to its previous price. That’s worth noting as it has the price of BTC down 14.3% over the last week. The crypto is also slipping slightly over the last 24-hour period as of Monday afternoon.

Now that we know why crypto stocks are down today, let’s take a look at those getting hit the hardest below!
