TREE NEWS reports: Crypto sold off after August producer prices rose 0.4% and the 30-year Treasury yield closed above every level seen in the past five years, with Brent crude topping $106 and rate-hike odds reaching 64%. Bitcoin traded at $77,120 and 103 of the 125 largest non-stablecoin tokens fell on the day. Ether.fi bucked the trend, rising 14.2% on a buyback vote that closed a week ago.
Brent Tops $106, Rate-Hike Odds Hit 64% as Crypto Sells Off
The macro backdrop is doing the work here: hotter producer prices, a five-year high in long-end yields and oil above $106 are repricing the rate path, and crypto is trading as a high-beta macro asset rather than on its own narrative. Breadth tells the story — the selloff is broad across large non-stablecoin tokens, not idiosyncratic. The outlier is Ether.fi, where a governance-driven buyback is decoupling price from the tape. Whether that macro pressure eases or broadens is the open question.
