Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is up (+2.9%) — Top: AAVE +9.5%

Crypto prices moved broadly higher today (average +2.55%) as risk appetite improved on macro signals that Fed rate cuts remain on the table, with the FOMC minutes helping offset some of the geopolitical uncertainty highlighted in coverage of the Iran conflict. The rally was most visible in large-cap and DeFi-linked names such as Ethereum (+6.82%) and Aave (+9.49%), consistent with investors leaning into higher-beta segments when the rates outlook looks less restrictive. Meanwhile, quantum-computing headlines from Cloudflare and commentary from Novogratz framed the issue as a longer-dated security challenge rather than an immediate threat, limiting any near-term drag on Bitcoin sentiment and allowing the macro narrative to dominate.
