Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-2.5%) — Top: MKR -10.3%

Crypto prices traded lower on the day (average move about -2.5%), led by sharper drawdowns in higher-beta names like Maker and Injective, as risk appetite softened alongside renewed macro unease reflected in commentary about rising government borrowing costs and investors treating public markets as a broad risk bet. The White House crypto chief’s first comments after resigning kept regulatory uncertainty in focus, which tends to pressure sentiment and liquidity in DeFi-linked tokens during down days. With no clear positive catalyst in the newsflow, the tape looked more like a risk-off repricing than a crypto-specific shock, consistent with broad de-risking rather than isolated project headlines.
