About this episode

Crypto markets soared with altcoins outperforming bitcoin, driven by strong U.S. jobs data and regulatory support.

Crypto markets soared Friday, with altcoins stealing the spotlight from bitcoin, which remained steady above $80,000. Internet Computer Protocol led the charge with a nearly 12% surge, followed by Near Protocol and Uniswap with around 7% gains. Solana, Chainlink, Sui, and Polkadot also climbed around 5%. Stocks hit new highs, with the Nasdaq surging 2.2% and the S&P 500 adding 0.85%. Strong U.S. jobs data fueled the rally. Coinbase shares rebounded 10% after a rough earnings report and AWS outage. SEC Chair Paul Atkins expressed support for new rules in onchain trading, crypto custody, and blockchain settlement systems, boosting related stocks. This spillover from stocks indicates deeper crypto adoption, particularly in tokenization and infrastructure plays, as regulation shapes the markets future.
