This week saw red across major U.S. equity benchmarks. The S&P 500 dropped 1.03%, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ took a sharper hit with a 1.52% decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.67%, closing out what proved to be a challenging trading week for traditional equities. These moves matter for the broader investment landscape—institutional capital flows, risk-off sentiment, and macro headwinds that ripple through digital asset markets deserve close attention.
