Bitcoin and cryptocurrency stocks experienced gains on Tuesday as fears of oil supply disruptions diminished. The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced an extraordinary meeting to consider releasing emergency oil reserves, leading to a drop in WTI crude oil prices to $82 from nearly $120 over the weekend. This development bolstered global market risk appetite, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices rising approximately 0.5% during midday trading.
Cryptocurrency-related stocks followed suit, with stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) climbing 6%, marking a near 100% increase over two weeks. Digital asset infrastructure firm BitGo (BTGO) rose over 8%, and blockchain company Figure (FIGR) saw a 12% increase. UK Bitcoin treasury firm Stack BTC (STAK) surged more than 200% cumulatively after announcing the addition of Nigel Farage. Additionally, the correlation between Bitcoin and the software stock ETF (IGV) is weakening, indicating Bitcoin may start showing more independent performance amid macroeconomic uncertainties.
