Major equity indices are rallying on the back of solid earnings, with both the $SPX and $QQQ up over 1%. Meanwhile, crypto markets are churning lower, which is understandable as we should not expect crypto to rally alongside equities during an earnings-driven market. Crypto remains an apparently undecided market ahead of next week's FOMC meeting and the Quarterly Refunding Announcement (QRA), evidenced by another day of ETF outflows and a...
WEEKLY RECAP Crypto funding was relatively unchanged week-over-week, with a 4% decrease to $138 million, while deal count saw a larger decrease, falling 29% to 25 deals. Infrastructure deals comprised 73% of total funding and Web3 and Gaming combined for 26%, with remaining categories making up the last 1%. As highlighted in our Q1 Funding Report, Series A funding has been a standout deal stage this year, and this week...
BUYERS ON STRIKE Last week, we discussed our immediate-term cautious approach to the crypto market, highlighting recent geopolitical tensions, tax-related selling, negative fiscal flows, and the persistent rise in real yields as reasons for a more risk-averse positioning (albeit relative, as holding 7.5% in cash and the rest in crypto is hardly considered risk-averse in most circles).

U.S. equity indices are under pressure today following disappointing economic growth in conjunction with hotter-than-expected prices paid, sparking stagflation fears and reducing the chances of rate cuts. The $SPY has declined 0.91% to test $501 and the $QQQ has dropped 1.12% to $421, being weighed down by a 12% drop in META following its Q1 earnings release. Crypto markets are faring better, with BTC -0.84% (-0.28%) trading at $64k and ETH 3.78% ...

As expected, altcoins are also generally declining, although a few notable performers are scattered across the market. Currently, $BONK and $WIF, two prominent memecoins on Solana, are showing resilience, up 12% and 6%, respectively. Additionally, $HBAR initially doubled in price following reports that Blackrock...

U.S. Treasury rates and the DXY (-0.46%) are sliding today following weaker-than-expected S&P Flash PMI data, helping catalyze a 1% rally in equity indices.

The crypto market is broadly performing well...

ETH 3.78% followed BTC's initial drop, trading below $2900 last night, but it has now rebounded to above $3000. SOL 0.06% has shown remarkable resilience amid the turmoil, now...
