NEW YORK, June 27 — Dogecoin and the Hyperliquid token HYPE took the hardest hits in crypto this week, each shedding roughly 10% as investors piled into stocks tied to the artificial-intelligence boom. The rotation out of chipmakers lifted much of the stock market — the equal-weight S&P 500 hit a record — but crypto was not part of the party.
Here’s what it means, in plain terms: Money that might have gone into digital assets instead flowed toward AI stocks, leaving major tokens in the red. Dogecoin slid 9.6% over seven days to about $0.076, while HYPE lost 9.9%, the steepest falls among the majors. Think of it like a party where one room is packed and the other is emptying out — and right now, AI stocks are the room with the line out the door.
Ether dropped 8.4% to roughly $1,581, and XRP fell 7.8% to $1.06. Solana and Tron held up better, roughly flat on the week at $72 and $0.32. Bitcoin proved the steadier major, slipping about 5% and repeatedly rebounding from dips near $58,000 amid signs of margin liquidations and aggressive dip-buying.
The practical upshot for everyday investors: Crypto remains under pressure from U.S. spot bitcoin ETF outflows, a hawkish Federal Reserve and a strong dollar — even as risk appetite persists and broad equity indexes hit new highs. The Fed’s stance on interest rates continues to make riskier assets less appealing compared to the steady returns from AI-driven stocks.
Crypto’s weeklong slide comes despite a broader market where the equal-weight S&P 500 reached a record, signaling that the rally is broadening beyond just the megacap tech names that dominated earlier in the year. But that broadening hasn’t extended to digital assets.
What to watch next: Whether Bitcoin can hold its support near $58,000 will be key. If dip-buyers keep stepping in, the token could stabilize. But if ETF outflows accelerate and the dollar keeps strengthening, more pain may be ahead for the broader crypto market. For now, the AI trade is eating everyone’s lunch — and crypto is still waiting for its seat at the table.
