The post Crypto stocks cool by market close but stay in the green appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Following a red hot morning of trading on Tuesday, some US crypto stocks lost some of their earlier gains throughout the afternoon.  Coinbase for instance, which bounced as high as 14% Tuesday, settled at just over $82 a share. Even so, this still represents a more than 6% increase on the day. The catalyst for all these stock jumps, bitcoin (BTC) itself, dipped from its $35,000 peak on early Tuesday morning to around $33,800 at the time of writing.

Of course, Core Scientific has still yet to emerge from bankruptcy, with a disclosure statement hearing scheduled for Nov. 14, 2023.  MicroStrategy, though, stayed strong. By the stock market close, the top US corporate holder of bitcoin was in the green by over 12%.
