Good morning!
The US market woke up today to a mix of anxiety and curiosity as the crypto charts flashed red almost across the board. So let’s walk through everything that unfolded overnight from price action to ETF flows to the biggest headlines of the last 12 hours.
Crypto Market News – Asian Hours Recap
Bitcoin once again struggled to hold above the $91,000 mark early this morning, briefly dipping toward $90,800. Traders across Asia opened their screens to a market that still feels heavy, uncertain, and extremely cautious.
Ethereum (ETH) slipped under $3,000, Solana (SOL) hovered near $130, XRP extended its decline, and even long-time favorites like Litecoin (LTC) couldn’t escape the sell-off.
Overall, it was a slow, nervous start to the day.
And this mood was reflected clearly in the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which dropped to 16 — Extreme Fear. It’s one of the lowest readings recently, showing just how shaken retail sentiment is right now.
Meanwhile:
- Top Gainer: Starknet (STRK) ➝ up 20%
- Top Loser: Internet Computer (ICP) ➝ down 13%

- Bitcoin spot ETFs: $373M net outflow (five straight days of withdrawals)
- Ethereum spot ETFs:$74.22M net outflow (six consecutive days)
- Solana spot ETFs:$30.09M net inflow thanks to new launches by Fidelity and Canary
SOL remains the only major asset attracting fresh money while BTC and ETH see near-term pressure.
