Uniswap leads crypto higher after US jobs, Ether slips

The US jobs report — Non-Farm Employment Change, Average Hourly Earnings, and the Unemployment Rate — landed at 13:30 UTC on 6 November, and across our crypto feed the reaction skewed higher. Uniswap led the board, with UNIUSD climbing 1.56% in the hour since the print.

Where the crypto moved

UNIUSD posted the biggest move, lifting from 6.973 to 7.0815, a 1.56% gain over the 60 minutes since release.

Cardano followed close behind: ADAUSD rose from 0.18665 to 0.18875, up 1.13%.

Stellar’s XLMUSD added 0.74%, edging from 0.154195 to 0.155335, and Dogecoin’s DOGUSD gained 0.62%, from 0.07245 to 0.07290. Litecoin’s LTCUSD firmed 0.57%, moving 52.84 to 53.14.

Ether stood apart as the only decliner: ETHUSD slipped 0.44%, from 2242.785 to 2232.995.

What the reaction shows

The move concentrated in the smaller names, with Uniswap and Cardano carrying the largest gains and the mid-cap coins posting progressively smaller rises down the board. Ether was the lone holdout, easing fractionally while everything else firmed.

The spread stayed modest — the top mover was a little over 1.5%, the rest below that — so this reads as a mild, broadly positive drift across our crypto feed rather than a sharp repricing, with Ether the single exception.
