The pullback hit miners hard. MARA Holdings (MARA) erased gains and is now 4.8% lower on the day, Core Scientific (CORZ) slid 6%. CleanSpark (CLSK), one of the outperformers earlier, gave back all of its gains to trade down 0.38% and Riot Platforms (RIOT) lost 0.7%.
Trading and crypto services stocks also cooled. Circle Internet (CRCL), the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, fell 3.2%, Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, fell 2% and Galaxy Digital (GLXY) slipped 1.9%. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) dipped 0.55%.
One standout that remains positive is Hut 8 (HUT), which surged 20% in early trading after announcing a 15-year, $7 billion lease agreement with AI infrastructure firm Fluidstack. It remains up more than 12% on the day.
The reversal came even as Fed Governor Chris Waller, now a favorite in prediction markets to replace Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve, talked down the neutral stance on interest rates and said job growth looks close to zero.
Even so, Polymarket and Kalshi both show odds of more than 70% of no rate reduction in January. The CME’s FedWatch points in the same direction.

Valour launches bitcoin staking ETP on London Stock Exchange
The post Valour launches bitcoin staking ETP on London Stock Exchange appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Valour Digital Securities, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, has launched its Bitcoin Physical Staking exchange-traded product (ETP) on the London Stock Exchange, the firm announced on Friday. The listing expands Valour’s yield-bearing bitcoin product beyond mainland Europe, where it has traded since November 2024 on Germany’s Xetra market. The ETP is restricted to professional and institutional investors under current UK regulations, with retail access expected to open on October 8 under new Financial Conduct Authority rules. The product, listed under ticker 1VBS, is physically backed 1:1 by bitcoin held in cold storage with Copper, a regulated custodian. It offers an estimated annual yield of 1.4%, which is distributed by increasing the product’s net asset value (NAV). Yield is generated through a staking process that uses the Core Chain’s Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism. Rewards earned in CORE tokens are converted into bitcoin and added to the ETP’s holdings. Valour has emphasized that while the process involves short-term lockups during stake transactions, the underlying bitcoin is not subject to traditional staking risks such as slashing. The launch comes as the UK begins to loosen restrictions on crypto-linked investment products. Earlier this year, the Financial Conduct Authority moved toward allowing retail access to certain crypto exchange-traded notes and products, a shift that will test demand for regulated, yield-bearing bitcoin exposure.
