U.S. stocks and oil rallied, with the S&P 500 logging a ninth straight weekly gain and Brent crude hovering near $92 a barrel on hopes for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension. Major cryptocurrencies lagged the macro rally, with bitcoin, ether and other large-cap tokens falling around 2% to 6% amid cooling spot bitcoin ETF inflows.
Smaller tokens were a bright spot, as Hyperliquid’s HYPE surged nearly 20% and BNB and XRP notched modest gains, even as the fragile macro rally remained vulnerable to setbacks in Iran deal talks.

" BNB closed up 1.9% and XRP eked out a 0.7% weekly gain. The Iran deal still needs Trump's signature, and the red lines he restated on Friday sit well beyond what Iran has indicated it would accept publicly. The macro rally is one bad headline from reversing.
