Nvidia-driven tech jitters push most crypto majors into the red Risk-off sentiment across markets left only five of the top 100 cryptocurrencies rising by 1% or more over the past 24 hours. The gainers: ARB, RNDR, PEPE, QNT and GT. Nearly everything else — including market leaders bitcoin (BTC $74,397.27) and ether (ETH $2,112.51), plus XRP and solana (SOL) — traded lower, with a small number of tokens holding flat or modestly positive. The broader weakness appears tied to a selloff in tech stocks. Nvidia (NVDA), the AI bellwether and the largest publicly traded company by market cap, slid more than 4% in pre-market trading. The move followed media reports about the company’s CEO and Nvidia’s announcement that it is opening an internal investigation into the matter. That combination has driven a more cautious tone among risk assets — spilling over into crypto — as investors pare exposure to high-beta tech and related assets. Market participants will be watching Nvidia’s developments and broader tech sentiment closely; further deterioration in equities could keep pressure on cryptocurrencies, while any signs of stabilization would likely support a broader recovery.
