Crypto Stocks Perform Worse Than Cryptocurrencies

The picks and shovels of the cryptocurrency world have been a worse bet lately than cryptocurrencies themselves.

The cryptocurrency market has been in selloff mode recently even as hundreds of millions of people now trade bitcoin, ether and other digital assets. Bitcoin is down 12% this year. Ether is down 19%. The entire crypto market has fallen about 19%, though prices are off their year lows, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
