US Stock Futures Decline as Traders Seek Safe-Haven Assets

US stock index futures experienced a downturn, prompting traders to gravitate towards safe-haven assets such as gold and silver. According to NS3.AI, Ethereum options data revealed a bearish sentiment, with short-term and near-term put options priced higher than those for Bitcoin, reflecting cautiousness towards ETH. In contrast, certain altcoins, including LayerZero's ZRO token, TRX, and DASH, recorded modest gains in anticipation of upcoming upgrades and growing market interest.
