Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-2.4%) — Top: MKR -10.3%

Crypto markets traded lower on the day (average move -2.55%) as risk appetite softened alongside a sharp ETH downdraft, with reporting that Wintermute has continued shorting Ethereum helping to frame the slide to a two-month low and weighing on broader sentiment. The pullback was most acute in higher-beta names, with MKR and INJ among the laggards, consistent with traders reducing exposure as macro headlines emphasized a more cautious backdrop for risk assets, including commentary on rising borrowing costs and the view that public markets are increasingly “one big bet.” Regulatory uncertainty also lingered after news around the White House crypto chief’s resignation, reinforcing a defensive tone rather than providing a clear catalyst for buyers.
