Rising Treasury yields, triggered by falling bond prices on Tuesday, led to a nearly 2% decline in tech stocks on the Nasdaq Composite. Cryptocurrencies also experienced a downturn, with Ethereum falling nearly 8%, Ripple dropping by 6%, and Solana slumping by almost 10% in the 24-hour window.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin weren't the only high-risk/high-reward assets to fall, as the Nasdaq also lost more than 2.5% before the close of Wall Street markets.
