On July 2, Riot Platforms fell 5.63% in regular trading, trading at $22.675/share, with turnover of $174 million.

On the news front, on-chain data revealed that Riot Platforms deposited 500 BTC into NYDIG Custody in a suspected sale transaction valued at approximately $29.48 million. This follows a similar operation in April, when the company transferred another 500 BTC to NYDIG for sale at a value of approximately $38.95 million. The repeated BTC liquidations have intensified market concerns over the company's cash flow pressures.

The broader crypto mining sector came under significant selling pressure on the same day, with peer IREN declining 8.75%. The sector weakness coincides with a broader reassessment of crypto miners' financial sustainability, as major holders including Strategy have also announced plans to potentially sell up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin to bolster cash reserves.
