Share This Post

Bitcoin neared the $64,000 mark in Asian morning hours Monday, up half a percent on the day but down almost 3% over the week, as a softer dollar and fading rate-hike bets failed to lift crypto out of its recent range.

Hyperliquid’s HYPE was the standout, up over 3% to $59 and almost 9% on the week, the only major with a meaningful weekly gain. Ether rose over 1% to just under $1,900 but is down 1% over seven days.

Dogecoin added almost 1% to 7 cents, tron under half a percent to just over 33 cents and XRP marginally to $1, though XRP is down 3% on the week. Solana edged up to just over $75 and is down almost 2% over seven days. BNB slipped marginally to just over $604 and was flat on the week.

The macro backdrop turned friendlier without moving crypto. A Bloomberg gauge of the dollar slipped 0.1% toward a third straight decline and levels last seen in May, while MSCI’s emerging-market currency index hit an intraday record, led by the Taiwanese dollar and Thai baht.
