Brent Falls 2.5% to $104.88; WTI Drops Below $100 to $99.99

The simultaneous drop in both benchmarks, with WTI losing the $100 level, points to broad pressure rather than a single-contract quirk. That matters for energy-linked exposure across crypto and RWA markets, where tokenized commodities and inflation-hedge narratives often track crude sentiment. Whether WTI holds below $100 in coming sessions is the open question; a sustained break would likely shift the macro backdrop that digital-asset desks watch.
