The AI dip-buyers who hammered crypto last week came back overnight, just not for crypto. MSCI's Asia Pacific gauge rose 2.5%, South Korea's Kospi climbed as much as 8% with SK Hynix up 11%, and the Nasdaq 100 added 1.6% as a semiconductor gauge gained more than 5%. Crypto got none of that action. Bitcoin trades near $63,300, up about 0.8% over 24 hours, and ether near $1,691, up 1.8%, per CoinDesk data. BNB and Solana lead the majors at roughly 2.3%. Every large token is still deep in the red on the week, with bitcoin off 10.8%, ether down 16%, Solana and Hyperliquid both off about 17%, and dogecoin down 14.7%. Crypto sold off alongside AI shares last week when the rout was pinned on stretched chip valuations, and that beta has flipped on the way up.
