The crypto market was in quiet mode during the Asian and European mornings to end the week, with bitcoin 0.45% lower over 24 hours near $58,500. ETH lost 0.7%, while SOL led gains, adding 0.44%. The broader digital asset market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index, is about 0.39% higher. Bitcoin capitulated to under $57,000 late Thursday, a drop for which there was no obvious catalyst, given that both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 were ticking upward at the time.
