[라온]

Leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum ended the week in the red as the stock market turned lower and Treasury yields jumped.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was down 3% and trading around $79,500 on the afternoon of May 15. BTC is down from a high of $82,000 in recent days and is leading the downturn in digital assets.

Other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, were down about 4% on the day. ETH was trading as low as $2,220 as the entire market fell from its recent highs. Analysts say risk assets such as stocks and crypto are selling off amid raised expectations for interest rate hikes.

The yield on the 30-year bond was up more than 10 basis points to yield 5.114%, its highest level since May 22 of last year. At the same time, the two-year Treasury note yield, which tends to react to short-term Federal Reserve rate decisions, was more than eight basis points higher at 4.075%.

The spike in Treasury yields comes after disappointing inflation data, and as traders look to new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and the prospect of higher interest rates later this year.
