Stock market today: A huge crypto deal shakes up the Nasdaq

Stocks traded solidly higher for most of Tuesday, but lost steam in the afternoon as Wall Street reacted to a major shake-up in the cryptocurrency space.

Earlier today, crypto exchange Binance said it plans to buy rival FTX’s non-US assets due to liquidity concerns at the latter firm. The news sent the price on Bitcoin falling 12.6% to $18,184 (Bitcoin trades 24 hours a day; prices reported here are as of 4 p.m.).
