Crypto’s so-called ’smart money’ index takes a hit—NEAR leads the losers’ parade while traders shrug and whisper ’buy the dip.’

Another day, another red candle. The CoinDesk 20 bled value today, with NEAR Protocol taking a 5.7% axe to the kneecaps. Was it macroeconomic jitters, or just crypto doing its usual impression of a drunk trapeze artist?

Funny how these ’institutional-grade’ indices still move like degenerate gamblers when BTC sneezes. Maybe Wall Street’s algos are just copying Crypto Twitter memes now.
