Ethereum Drags Altcoins Below $880B as 22% Weekly Slide Shakes Trader Confidence

Crypto markets endured further pressure this week as the sell-off spread to 
some of the industry&#8217;s largest digital asset treasuries (DATs). As of Friday, 
Bitcoin (BTC) had slipped back below $60,000 for the first time since 2024, 
Ethereum (ETH) was trading around $1,550, and Hyperliquid (HYPE) was near $57. 
While the declines weighed on the broader market, the impact has been most 
visible in the large treasury companies associated with BTC and 
ETH—specifically Strategy (MSTR) and Bitmine (BMNR). Hyperliquid Strategies 
(PURR), however, has continued to post gains on an unrealized basis, 
highlighting how its performance still outpaces the market’s major benchmarks. 
Hyperliquid Strategies Avoids The Worst With $1.2B Gains According to Artemis 
data, Strategy and Bitmine are carrying significant unrealized losses of about 
$12.8 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively. In contrast, Hyperliquid 
Strategies is positioned differently. Artemis data further indicates that 
Hyperliquid Strategies is the only major digital asset treasury company in the 
industry so far still in positive territory, with approximately $1.2 billion 
in unrealized gains, as seen in the chart below. Related Reading: Bitcoin

practical terms, that means the stress seen across most crypto-linked balance 
sheets has not hit Hyperliquid in the same way, even as prices pulled back 
sharply elsewhere. The weakness has also reached other large public holders 
beyond the two biggest names. Lookonchain data shows the recent retrace has 
extended further, with SharpLink down $1.59 billion on ETH, and Metaplanet 
down $1.38 billion on BTC. The pattern is consistent: as BTC and ETH retrace, 
companies concentrated in those assets tend to reflect the decline in their 
mark-to-market or unrealized reporting. Weekly BTC, ETH Pullback Hits MSTR, 
BMNR Stocks Bitcoin’s move has been particularly notable on the weekly chart. 
The asset recorded a major 20% retrace on the weekly time frame, and that 
broader drop has filtered down to equities and crypto proxies as well. 
Strategy’s stock, MSTR, fell 14% on Friday alone, trading around $115 per 
share. Bitmine’s stock, BMNR, also logged double-digit losses on Friday, down 
12% to roughly $15.76 per share, adding to pressure on investors. Related

during the same period, dropping 14%. Even with that pullback, Hyperliquid 
Strategies’ PURR price showed comparatively limited movement, with only a 1.2% 
retrace to $8.3 for the current trading session. Together, these snapshots 
underline a clear divergence: While Strategy and Bitmine reflect the drawdown 
of BTC and ETH in a straightforward way through large unrealized losses, 
Hyperliquid Strategies remains comparatively resilient, maintaining positive 
unrealized performance even as the market sells off. Featured image created
