Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-1.9%) — Top: INJ +11.1%

Crypto markets traded lower on the day (average move about -2%), with the heaviest pressure concentrated in higher-beta DeFi and smart-contract names, suggesting a risk-off tone rather than a single token-specific shock. Regulatory uncertainty likely weighed on sentiment as reports highlighted an unresolved White House crypto policy vacancy and Russia’s proposed limits on direct P2P trading and self-custody transfers, reinforcing the perception of tightening oversight that can curb on-ramps and liquidity. Against that backdrop, sharp declines in Maker and Injective (both down around 10%) look consistent with investors de-risking exposure to more volatile segments, while product headlines like Ledger’s new wallet were not enough to offset the broader policy-driven caution.
