Crypto treasury companies had a rougher morning; with solana treasury company Forward Industries (FORD) selling off by as much as 5% in pre-market trading while ETH-focused BitMine (BMNR) lost 3.9%.

The equities sell-off comes after a grueling weekly open for crypto markets during the Asia morning; BTC and ether (ETH) are down 2.3% and 6.4% respectively while several altcoins were dealt double-digit moves to the downside.

The move was a culmination of several tokens losing momentum after gaining ground last week alongside the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.

The reversal led to widespread liquidations across crypto derivatives exchanges, with $500 million worth of ETH positions being unwound in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGlass.
