Is Crypto Crashing?

Crypto is down (-19.0%) β€” Worst: OP -24.1%

Crypto prices slid about 2.8% on average as risk appetite softened amid fresh signals of tightening liquidity in the sector, highlighted by reports that DeFi total value locked has fallen sharply as yields cool. The drawdown was amplified by equity-linked crypto exposure after Strategy (MSTR) fell again on the back of a securities lawsuit, weighing on sentiment toward bitcoin-adjacent and high-beta tokens and helping explain outsized losses in names like DOGE, NEAR and LINK. While some pockets such as DEXE showed idiosyncratic strength on whale activity and user growth, that resilience was not enough to offset broader concerns about capital rotating out of higher-risk crypto and DeFi as returns compress.
