Brent crude falls 2.0% intraday to $90.69 a barrel

A move this sharp in both benchmarks points to a single, broad driver rather than contract-specific noise, since Brent and WTI are falling in tandem. For crypto and RWA markets, the relevance is indirect but real: oil is a key input to the inflation and rate expectations that have driven correlation between digital assets and macro risk sentiment. Whether this intraday slide holds into the close, or reverses, is the open question — a sustained move would matter more for the macro backdrop than a fleeting dip.
