Yesterday’s Biggest Headlines

Crypto Market Watch

1. Bitcoin security risk moved back into focus. CoinDesk reported that a Bitcoin cold-wallet attack had spread to 4,500 addresses, with losses nearing $89 million, according to Galaxy Research.

2. Bitcoin ETF activity stayed soft while ether funds led flows. The Block reported that weekly spot bitcoin ETF trading volume fell to its lowest level since October 2024, while ether funds continued to lead inflows.

3. Crypto equities kept rewriting their bitcoin playbooks. Decrypt highlighted Strategy’s updated bitcoin metrics, including a new “net bitcoin per share” framework that gives investors another way to judge MSTR’s BTC exposure.

4. Stablecoin infrastructure stayed in the institutional spotlight. Cointelegraph reported that former BIS chief Agustin Carstens softened his stance on stablecoins, saying they can coexist with fiat if global regulatory guardrails improve.

Equity Market Moves

5. U.S. stock futures rose as oil prices fell. Barron’s reported that Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures gained while oil dropped, setting up a risk-on tone for Monday’s open after a tense geopolitical stretch.

6. The market entered a packed earnings week. Investor’s Business Daily noted that Dow futures rose alongside broader stock futures, while investors prepared for another heavy week of earnings and macro signals.

7. AI and mega-cap tech remained the equity market’s main pressure point. After last week’s earnings-driven swings, traders continued to watch whether AI-linked names could support index momentum or leave the market vulnerable to valuation fatigue.

Commodities Watch

8. Oil fell sharply as immediate Iran-related escalation risk eased. AP reported that oil prices dropped more than 6% after President Trump said he would hold off on more strikes against Iran, reversing part of the prior geopolitical premium.

9. OPEC+ supply expectations added pressure to crude. Barron’s reported that oil declined as traders weighed the prospect of additional production from OPEC+ alongside easing near-term geopolitical risk.
