Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-2.2%) — Top: MKR -10.3%

Crypto markets traded lower on the day (average move about -2.1%) as regulatory uncertainty resurfaced, with reporting on a looming White House crypto policy vacancy and Russia’s proposed limits on direct P2P trading and self-custody transfers reinforcing a more cautious risk posture. That backdrop weighed most heavily on higher-beta names, with sharp drawdowns in Maker and Injective suggesting investors were de-risking exposure to protocol and DeFi-related tokens amid a less supportive policy narrative. Separately, softer bitcoin production updates from miners added to the defensive tone around the sector’s fundamentals, even if the day’s price action was driven more by policy headlines than by network metrics.
