Crypto
Cryptocurrencies — digital assets recorded on blockchains and traded outside traditional banking.
Coverage of Crypto is holding steady : 39 signals on the latest tracked day, down 13% from its three-week baseline of 45, across 12 domains (up from 7 a week ago). That makes it the #64 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
Crypto is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 45 signals a day across 12 domains (46 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 57+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 12. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
