The drop amid Nasdaq futures weakness dragged altcoins lower, underscoring crypto's stock market ties. Institutional buyer Strategy Inc. meanwhile disclosed a $108 million BTC purchase.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs on Friday, driven by strong corporate earnings and declining crude oil prices. The indices notched their longest weekly gain streak since October 2024 amid an earnings-heavy week.
