TRANSCRIPT

Tess Marek: Welcome back to MOVERS. The tape printed a story today that was nothing short of electric for the digital asset sector. We are walking through the biggest moves in crypto, starting with the leader of the pack.

Tess Marek: X:BTCUSD surged +5.97% since the open, hitting the 96th percentile for this ticker's history. It edged up slightly at the start before really taking off. Our wires are picking up a specific narrative here.

Tess Marek: Yahoo Finance had it at 12:04 Eastern — Stock Market Today: Dow Pressured As Yields Hit 5%; Strategy Soars As Bitcoin Price Tops $80,500. Earlier in the day, at 11:22 Eastern, they noted Bitcoin Blasts Past $80K and a Fresh Short Squeeze Is On.

Tess Marek: But there is another angle to this story that seems to be driving the sentiment. At 07:40 Eastern, Yahoo Finance noted that crypto prices rise as investors move past CLARITY's failure. The tape moved without our host posting about it today.

Tess Marek: Now shifting to the second mover. X:ETHUSD surged +6.25% since the open, reaching the 91st percentile. It started with a small edge up before joining Bitcoin in its run. The wire check for Ethereum mirrors the early sentiment seen across the board at that same 07:40 Eastern timestamp.

Tess Marek: Our host hasn't posted about either of these tickers today, so we are letting the tape and the wires tell the story. We have Bitcoin leading the charge near some number dollars while Ethereum follows closely behind, both reacting as the market digests the news surrounding CLARITY. That is where we stand on this Friday.

Tess Marek: That's the show. We're on Spotify and YouTube — if this earned it: like, subscribe, tell a friend. And housekeeping: the machine that writes this gets tuned constantly for cleaner news. The numbers are real; the jokes are not.
