Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is up (+2.8%) — Top: ARB +15.3%

Crypto prices moved higher on the day (average +2.83%) as sentiment improved around the policy outlook for digital assets, with commentary framing the CLARITY Act’s progress as a potential inflection point that has helped lift risk appetite. That tone showed up most clearly in DeFi, where Arbitrum led gains (+12.7% to +15.3%) alongside Aave (+5.8%) and Avalanche (+5.1%), aligning with reports that DeFi is “quietly re-rating” versus Bitcoin as investors rotate toward higher-beta protocols. Offsetting headlines, including renewed XRP–SWIFT rumor denial and a reported attempt to backdoor an Injective npm package, appeared to stay contained to narrative and security awareness rather than driving broad risk-off price action.
