Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-0.7%) — Top: ETC +7.5%

Crypto markets traded modestly lower on average (-0.64%) as sentiment stayed cautious amid headlines highlighting both regulatory frictions and uneven institutional demand, keeping traders focused on risk management rather than broad beta exposure. Reports on sanction-evasion networks flagged by Elliptic and renewed debate around Bitcoin’s structural “supply advantage” reinforced a preference for the relative safety of BTC while altcoins lagged, a dynamic echoed by coverage of whale-versus-retail positioning during the latest Bitcoin pullback. Against that softer backdrop, a handful of DeFi and legacy L1 names outperformed (notably Aave and Ethereum Classic), suggesting selective rotation into idiosyncratic catalysts rather than a market-wide risk-on move.
