A 3.5% CPI print, three hawkish FOMC dissents, and renewed Iran strikes drove a broad rebound across digital assets in July. Every CF Benchmarks index rose, fund flows turned positive at $409 million after eight weeks of outflows, and crypto diverged from tech as the Nasdaq fell 3.2%.

Digital assets fell as a bloc while individual tokens pulled violently apart. Index moves stayed clustered even as constituent dispersion widened. Defensive factors failed to defend, stress sat in the long tail, and implied volatility gave up its event premium as funding dislocated at the front end.

July's rally has stalled, with the Market factor flat at +0.02% and its four-week gain down to +0.48% from +7.13%. Momentum led a second straight week at +1.96%, its first back-to-back run since late May, while Growth reversed to +1.74% and Value fell to the bottom at -1.93%.
