What moves digital assets
Supply mechanics
Fixed issuance schedules, halvings and staking lock-ups shape the medium-term supply picture for each asset.
Regulation
Licensing regimes, ETF approvals and enforcement actions repeatedly reprice the entire asset class within hours.
Risk sentiment
Digital assets trade as a high-beta risk expression — equity drawdowns and liquidity stress usually spill over quickly.
Dollar and rates
Crypto is quoted in US dollars; tighter policy and a stronger dollar typically weigh on valuations.
Headlines and flows
Exchange incidents, large transfers and institutional allocations can move prices far faster than in traditional markets.
