Ethereum fell below the $4,000 mark, declining 4.5% as the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant sell-off. This downturn was triggered by stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data, which included a revised Q2 GDP growth of 3.8% and a drop in initial jobless claims to 218,000. These figures dampened hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut, with traders now assigning a 17% probability of rates remaining unchanged. The sell-off extended to other major cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin dropping 1.6% to $111,500. Tokens such as SOL, DOGE, AVAX, and SUI also faced steep declines. Crypto-related stocks, including MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN), saw significant losses, while mining companies like Cipher Mining (CIFR) and Hive Blockchain (HIVE) fell between 6% and 9.4%.
