Prices
| Asset | Approx. price | 24h |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | $75,980 | +0.1% |
| Ether (ETH) | $2,241 | +0.3% |
| BNB | $694 | +0.8% |
| Solana (SOL) | $90.30 | +0.5% |
| XRP | $1.18 | −3.5% |
| Dogecoin (DOGE) | $0.073 | +1.3% |
Bitcoin is about 40% below its $126,156 record, with market dominance near 57%. Total crypto market value was about $2.65 trillion early Friday, and stablecoins held roughly $289 billion.
Why the jobs report hurt
October payrolls rose 165,000, unemployment fell to 4.1% and wages rose 0.4%. That strength keeps the Fed, led by Chair Kevin Warsh, leaning toward a Dec. 9 hike. Higher yields make Treasuries and cash more attractive relative to bitcoin, which pays no interest, and a firmer dollar tends to weigh on crypto. Stocks managed a tech-led bounce; crypto did not. Recap: stock market close, Nov. 6.

| Fund | Thursday, Nov. 5 |

Warren and the CLARITY Act
The Wall Street Journal reported that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a prominent crypto skeptic, is expected to chair the Senate Banking Committee starting in January, though it is not final. The committee is central to the CLARITY Act, the market-structure bill that would define how crypto tokens are regulated. After Democrats won both chambers on Tuesday, investors are pricing in a slower path for the bill.
