However, cryptocurrencies have been falling a lot lately, and Riotโs stock price has clearly been affected by that. It is currently down 53.16% from its 52-week high, and the stock has continued to struggle. Many see the stock as highly overvalued, with Riot having a $3 billion market cap but only $12 million in revenue.
Riot closed at $36.49 on Thursday, down 11.67% on the day.
