Amberdata Blog Amberdata Digital Asset Snapshot: Tariffs, ETF Flows, & Token Crashes

In this week's Digital Asset Snapshot, macro crosswinds left crypto markets navigating between risk-off panic and rate-cut optimism. U.S. markets reacted sharply to the surprise announcement of new tariffs, triggering a surge in Treasury yields and a risk asset selloff. However, cooler-than-expected inflation data and strong jobs numbers provided some relief. Bitcoin experienced a sharp dip but quickly rebounded, while Ethereum and Solana followed similar recovery trajectories. Meanwhile, institutional activity across ETFs and derivatives reflected growing caution, with mixed funding signals and a pullback in leveraged positioning. Key on-chain and volume indicators suggest fragile sentiment and an ongoing wait for directional clarity.
