Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:GLXY) stock fell Friday as cryptocurrency-linked stocks came under pressure amid a decline in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
The sell-off followed a security breach reported by Binance (CRYPTO: BNB), which said in a post on X that unauthorized actors withdrew approximately $6.3 billion during an incident Thursday.
Bitcoin slipped 5.4% over the past 24 hours to trade near $77,193.36, adding to pressure on digital asset stocks.
The decline came amid a broader market sell-off, with the Nasdaq Composite falling 3.91% and the S&P 500 dropping 2.01%.
Technical Analysis
Galaxy Digital remains in a bearish trend, trading 13% below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) of $18.14 and 34.8% below its 200-day SMA of $24.23.
