Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-2.8%) — Top: ETC -6.8%

Crypto prices drifted lower on average (-2.7%) as flows around Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs came under renewed pressure, reinforcing a risk-off tone after reports of a $315 million February reshuffle and reminding traders that near-term demand is increasingly driven by ETF positioning rather than spot narratives. That backdrop weighed on higher-beta names such as Optimism and Aave, while Ethereum Classic lagged more sharply as investors de-risked across smaller-cap exposures. Headlines about large holders and potential additional Bitcoin accumulation (e.g., Strategy) offered a supportive long-term signal, but they were not enough to offset the immediate impact of ETF-related outflows and the broader debate about blockchain apps’ slower-than-hoped mainstream adoption.
