Bitcoin Slides as Rate-Cut Hopes Fade: Crypto Daybook Americas
By Francisco Rodrigues (All times ET unless indicated otherwise) The wind seems to be coming out of the crypto market's sails. Bitcoin (BTC) fell 3% in the past 24 hours, dropping below $115,000, and it's actually one of the better performing of the largest cryptocurrencies. The CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, a measure of the broader market, fell 6% with ether (ETH) down 5.7% after posting its strongest monthly gain in three years and XRP (XRP) losing more than 7%. The drop comes as some of President Donald Trump's tariffs started taking effect with more due to kick in on Aug. 7. The levies range from 10% to 41% on imports from key trading partners including Canada, the European Union and Japan. That sent Asian equity markets to their worst week since April and fueled a rally in the U.S. dollar, sending the dollar index above 100 for the first time since May. The tariffs also pushed up the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure, the core PCE, to 2.8% year-over-year in June. That increase has dampened hopes for a reduction in interest rates in September. Polymarket traders moved from a perceived 56% chance of a rate cut to now 38%. The CME's FedWatch tool shows a 39% chance. "For crypto, looser financial conditions would be a major tailwind,' said 21Shares strategist Matt Mena in an emailed statement. Today's nonfarm payrolls data could be decisive. The report is expected to the U.S. economy created 110,000 jobs last month. Options traders are already seeking protection from further declines. 'We're seeing increased short-term bearish positioning on BTC with capped upside strategies,' said Jake Ostrovskis, an OTC trader at Wintermute. 'ETH options into late August are notably different, with positioning balanced to even outright bullish.' If economic data points to higher rates for longer, traders may pivot toward assets that benefit from tighter conditions. A stronger dollar and higher interest rates could nudge investors toward yield-bearing stablecoins or transparent ETH-based vaults, given the GENIUS Act's passage into law. Stay alert!

The total market capitalization of NFTs has almost doubled to $6.4 billion in just a month, according to CoinGecko data. The rally was led by the CryptoPunks, which rose 33.3% over the period. Other collections, such as the Pudgy Penguins, also helped. CryptoPunks' increase took it near 30% of the total market capitalization of the NFT sector. In ETH terms, the 52 ETH price is the highest in over a year. Derivatives Positioning The number of open contracts in CME bitcoin standard futures has dropped to 27,699, representing 138,495 BTC, the lowest since April. The capital flight could be institutions preferring spot ETFs over futures or traders scaling back exposure as the dollar's rally gathers speed. Open interest in ether futures has fallen to 32,903 contracts from the recent high of 41,636. The ether contract is sized at 50 ETH. BTC and ETH OI remains elevated near record highs in offshore perpetual futures, with funding rates receding to under 5%, a sign of weakening of bullish sentiment. On Deribit, the market sentiment has shifted against ether, with downside insurance premiums costlier than for bitcoin. Market Movements BTC is down 1.32% from 4 p.m. ET Thursday at $114,962.47 (24hrs: -2.92%) ETH is down 3.09% at $3,619.49 (24hrs: -5.94%) CoinDesk 20 is down 3.26% at 3,764.26 (24hrs: -6.05%) Ether CESR Composite Staking Rate is unchanged at 2.94% BTC funding rate is at 0.0026% (2.8448% annualized) on Binance DXY is up 0.25% at 100.22 Gold futures are unchanged at $3,345.70 Silver futures are down 0.67% at $36.47 Nikkei 225 closed down 0.66% at 40,799.60 Hang Seng closed down 1.07% at 24,507.81 FTSE is down 0.40% at 9,096.56 Euro Stoxx 50 is down 1.36% at 5,319.92 DJIA closed on Thursday down 0.74% at 44,130.98 S&P 500 closed down 0.37% at 6,339.39 Nasdaq Composite closed unchanged at 21,122.45 S&P/TSX Composite closed down 0.40% at 27,259.78 S&P 40 Latin America closed down 0.71% at 2,563.84 U.S. 10-Year Treasury rate is up 3.6 bps at 4.396% E-mini S&P 500 futures are down 0.94% at 6,314.25 E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures are down 1.03% at 23,125.00 E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average Index are down 0.91% at 43,900.00 Bitcoin Stats BTC Dominance: 61.98% (0.41%) Ether to bitcoin ratio: 0.03150 (-1.38%) Hashrate (seven-day moving average): 904 EH/s Hashprice (spot): $57.21 Total Fees: 3.96 BTC / $468,378 CME Futures Open Interest: 138,495 BTC BTC priced in gold: 34.8 oz BTC vs gold market cap: 9.85% Technical Analysis The ether-bitcoin ratio's daily chart shows a bearish divergence of the RSI. The pattern is marked by the indicator printing a lower high, decoupling from the rising price, and suggests a weakening of the bullish momentum. In other words, ether could underperform bitcoin in the coming days. The MACD histogram, a trend-following indicator, has also turned negative Crypto Equities Strategy (MSTR): closed on Thursday at $401.86 (+1.73%), -4.2% at $385 at pre-market Coinbase Global (COIN): closed at $377.76 (+0.07%), -11.15% at $335.65 Circle (CRCL): closed at $183.52 (-3.66%), -5.19% at $174 Galaxy Digital (GLXY): closed at $28.41 (-1.68%), -7.97% at $26.15 MARA Holdings (MARA): closed at $16.08 (-2.84%), -3.61% at $15.5 Riot Platforms (RIOT): closed at $13.41 (-0.81%), -8.05% at $12.33 Core Scientific (CORZ): closed at $13.54 (+3.72%), -4.21% at $12.97 CleanSpark (CLSK): closed at $11.37 (-0.44%), -3.25% at $11 CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI): closed at $25.26 (+2.23%) Semler Scientific (SMLR): closed at $35.85 (-0.17%), -0.7% at $35.60 Exodus Movement (EXOD): closed at $30.84 (+6.05%), -1.85% at $30.27 SharpLink Gaming (SBET): closed at $18.81 (-3.83%), -6.11% at $17.66 ETF Flows Spot BTC ETFs Daily net flows: -$114.8 million Cumulative net flows: $54.97 billion Total BTC holdings ~1.3 million Spot ETH ETFs Daily net flows: $17 million Cumulative net flows: $9.66 billion Total ETH holdings ~5.73 million Source: Farside Investors Overnight Flows Chart of the Day The total amount of USDT transferred on-chain has risen to $52.9 billion, the highest since early 2022.

While You Were Sleeping Donald Trump Reignites Global Trade War With Sweeping Tariff Regime (Financial Times): A 35% tariff on Canadian non-USMCA goods begins Aug. 1, while broader tariffs announced in Thursday's executive order take effect Aug. 7 to allow U.S. Customs time to implement them. Bitcoin, Ether Start August on a Shaky Note as Dollar Index Tops 100; Yen Hits 4-Month Low Ahead of Nonfarm Payrolls (CoinDesk): Major cryptocurrencies saw volatile trading as a stronger dollar followed the new tariffs, which may worsen inflation and complicate the Fed's path to cutting interest rates.
