Why is Crypto Up or Down?

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

Crypto prices moved higher today (average +2.87%) as macro and policy headlines reduced near-term uncertainty: the FOMC minutes kept the prospect of rate cuts on the table, supporting risk appetite even as geopolitical risks were flagged. At the same time, regulatory and infrastructure developments helped sentiment, with the Treasury’s outline for stablecoin rules under the GENIUS Act framing a clearer compliance path and Standard Chartered’s move to take over Zodia’s custody platform reinforcing the institutional “plumbing” needed for larger allocations. The strongest gains clustered in large-cap and DeFi-linked names such as Aave (+9.49%) and Ethereum (+6.82%), consistent with investors leaning back into higher-beta segments when rates and regulatory direction appear more constructive.
