Avalanche and Chainlink Lead Altcoin Rally Despite Bitcoin Drop

Bitcoin briefly surged to $102,500 on Thursday after President-elect Donald Trump reaffirmed his pro-crypto stance, pledging to embrace digital assets and create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This optimism coincided with the European Central Bank (ECB) cutting interest rates by 25 basis points and signaling potential further reductions. However, a bond market sell-off dampened risk appetite, causing Bitcoin to retreat below $100,000, settling at $99,800 by late afternoon.
While Bitcoin faced pressure, altcoins outperformed. Avalanche’s AVAX and Chainlink’s LINK gained 9% and 13%, respectively. AVAX’s rally followed a $250 million token investment led by major crypto firms, while LINK saw demand from Trump-associated DeFi project World Liberty Financial, which added $1 million worth of tokens. Ethereum (ETH) also edged higher, up 1.5% for the day, buoyed by strong spot ETF inflows and increased blockchain activity, positioning it to target a new high above $5,000.
Broader markets mirrored Bitcoin’s decline, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 closing lower, and gold dropping 1.8% to $2,706 per ounce. The bond market turmoil contributed to these sell-offs, with rising yields in Germany and the U.S. amplifying investor caution.
