what happened
According to Seeking Alpha, bitcoin fell to around $69,000 early Friday as the US dollar strengthened to its highest level since April 2025. Ether dropped below $2,000 for the first time since August, XRP traded near $1, and Solana slipped under $80. Bitcoin is down 17% so far this quarter.
The same digest reports, citing Bloomberg, that Anthropic has drawn orders for roughly six times the shares available in its planned IPO. The company is seeking up to $64.4 billion through the offering, alongside a $26 billion private placement. Investor Michael Burry also doubled his put position on the Nasdaq 100.
why it matters
The slide in crypto alongside a stronger dollar shows how sensitive risk assets are to currency moves and rate expectations. Traders are also waiting for US wholesale inflation data, which could shape sentiment across asset classes.
market impact
Crypto: a stronger dollar and selling pressure weigh on bitcoin and ether
- Bitcoin pressure down — a stronger dollar and heavier selling reduce demand for risk assets
- Ether pressure down — weakness in bitcoin tends to drag altcoins lower
