Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is mixed (0.0%) โ€” Top: ETC +7.5%

Crypto markets were broadly flat on average in a mixed session, with flows concentrating in a handful of large-cap alts rather than a broad risk-on move. Strength in DeFi names such as Aave outperformed as traders leaned into protocol exposure, while some L2 beta like Optimism lagged, consistent with selective positioning rather than a marketwide catalyst. In the background, reporting on sanctions-evasion networks and tighter policing of crypto discussions on major platforms reinforced an uneven regulatory narrative, helping explain why gains were not uniform even as a few tokens posted outsized advances.
