U.S. stocks closed the week on a strong note with the Nasdaq leading the gains, while crypto-related stocks came under pressure against the trend.

[Crypto World] The US stock market closed out the week fairly steady. At Friday’s close, all three major indices moved up together, but gains were modest—Dow Jones edged up 0.22%, Nasdaq climbed 0.31%, and S&P 500 gained 0.19%. Looking at the week as a whole, the Nasdaq stood out the most with a weekly increase of 0.91%; the Dow rose 0.5% for the week; and the S&P was up 0.31%.

Among tech giants, there was a clear divergence: Google and Meta performed well, both up over 1% in a single day; Apple and Nvidia were somewhat weak, with small declines of less than 1%. Crypto stocks weren’t as lucky—a leading compliant exchange platform (COIN) pulled back 1.58%, while stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) slipped 2.10%. Market sentiment was cautious, and crypto-related stocks were clearly under pressure.
