On Friday, the CoinDesk 20 Index experienced a 2% decline, falling 44.22 points to 2,184.2. Amid this downturn, BNB emerged as the only asset to register a gain, rising 0.4%. In contrast, Bitcoin, often seen as a market stabilizer, fell 1.3%, yet managed to be one of the day's better performers. The losses were led by SUI, which dropped 6.8%, erasing a significant portion of its recent gains fueled by institutional staking announcements and zero-fee stablecoin news. Following closely was Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), which fell 5.9%, reversing part of its earlier strong performance. The overall market sentiment reflects a risk-off attitude among investors, particularly after recent US inflation data indicated higher-than-expected levels. The Producer Price Index (PPI) reached its highest annual level since 2022, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) also surprised on the upside, contributing to a more cautious approach towards leveraged and higher-beta crypto assets. This shift is particularly evident in the underperformance of altcoins compared to Bitcoin.
