What to know : The crypto market rally reversed, with bitcoin (BTC) falling 3.9% to around $86,500 and ether (ETH) losing 5.3% and and XRP dropping 4.1%.

The rally in crypto-linked stocks faded shortly after it started as bitcoin reversed from a move above $90,000. BTC is now trading around $86,500, down about 3.9% in the past hour.
Other cryptocurrencies also declined. The price of ether fell 5.3% to about $2,850 and XRP slipped 4.1% to roughly $1.89. The wider market, measured via the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, is now down 1.5% for the day.
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.
