Why is Crypto Up or Down?

Crypto is down (-1.1%) — Top: NEAR -11.9%

Crypto prices drifted lower (average -1.18%) as macro risk appetite softened, with the oil-market backdrop in focus after reports that Iran is pushing for higher crude prices, a dynamic that can tighten financial conditions and weigh on higher-beta assets like crypto. The selloff was most pronounced in smart-contract and infrastructure names, with NEAR and ICP leading declines, suggesting a rotation away from riskier altcoins rather than a crypto-specific shock. While there were constructive industry headlines such as Ripple adding Stripe-owned wallets to the XRP Ledger and Sberbank moving closer to offering crypto trading, these developments were not enough to offset the broader risk-off tone.
