Crypto ( CRCW )-related stocks have been pummeled on Wednesday with recently high-flying bitcoin miners with artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure taking the biggest hit.

Bitfarms ( BITF ) , Cipher Mining ( CIFR ) , Hut 8 ( HUT ) and Hive (HIVE) tumbled 10%-15% in the early hours of the session. Galaxy (GLXY), the digital asset investment firm with a growing data center operation, was beaten down 15% more than erasing all of its gains after Tuesday's earnings report.

The CoinShares Bitcoin Mining ETF ( WGMI ) , a proxy for the sector, was 7% lower.

Crypto ( CRCW ) stocks outside of mining weren't spared either. Bakkt Holdings ( BKKT/WS ) , which surged over 300% earlier this month, sank another 7.5% and is now down almost 40% in a week. Strategy (MSTR), the world's largest corporate bitcoin holder, slipped 4% to below $290.

A check of other names like Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD), Bullish (BLSH) and Gemini finds more sharp losses in the 5%-6% range.

Though still holding at the $108,000 area, bitcoin remained sizably lower after touching $114,000 on Tuesday. On Wall Street, the Nasdaq was sporting a 1% decline, with the chipmakers particularly hard hit.
