Crypto-related stocks continued their upward trajectory in U.S. premarket activity on Friday, mirroring Bitcoin's significant rally. The benchmark cryptocurrency jumped 8.9% to reach $78,135.60, briefly touching an intraday high and signaling a breakout from its prior trading range. This surge was attributed to a renewed push for regulatory clarity in the digital asset space, following comments from President Trump urging lawmakers to pass the Clarity Act.
Among the beneficiaries, Strategy led the pack with a 10.2% premarket gain. Coinbase and Circle Internet Group also saw substantial increases, rising 6.8% and 6.4%, respectively. $MARA+WL Holdings climbed 5.4%, Galaxy Digital added 5%, and Robinhood Markets gained 4.7%. Hut 8 and Riot Platforms also posted gains of 2.4% and 3.7%, respectively.
The broader market sentiment was also supported by the U.S. Treasury Department's announcement to double its bond buybacks, an effort aimed at containing rising yields and bolstering risk appetite. While the Treasury's intervention was modest, it sent a positive signal to risk-sensitive assets like cryptocurrencies.
