Crypto
Cryptocurrencies — digital assets recorded on blockchains and traded outside traditional banking.
Coverage of Crypto is holding steady : 38 signals on the latest tracked day, down 28% from its three-week baseline of 53, across 9 domains (down from 11 a week ago). That makes it the #23 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
Crypto is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 53 signals a day across 9 domains (45 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 66+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 9. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
