Top Gainers
Jupiter (JUP) rose 6.34% to $0.1545. The Solana-based DEX aggregator routes trades across on-chain venues, and JUP serves as its governance token. The token’s market cap stands at $548.74M. Liquidity routing and swap execution remain Jupiter’s core proposition within Solana DeFi.
Zcash (ZEC) advanced 5.22% to $229.57. ZEC is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable shielded transactions, with optional transparency. The move lifted its market cap to $3.82B. No specific news has been tied to the move.
Uniswap (UNI) gained 4.34% to $3.55. Uniswap is the leading automated market maker protocol on Ethereum, with UNI functioning as its governance token. The session left UNI at a $2.25B market cap. Price strength came as DeFi majors outperformed several large-cap smart contract platforms.
JUST (JST) climbed 4.05% to $0.0594. Built around the TRON ecosystem, JUST spans lending and stablecoin components, with JST used for governance and protocol parameters. Its market cap reached $525.18M after the advance. Traders pointed to broader altcoin rotation.
MemeCore (M) increased 3.98% to $2.29. The move lifted M’s market cap to $4.02B, placing it among the day’s highest-valued risers. The token trades under ticker M across multiple venues. Price action kept it in focus as flows favored higher-beta names during the session.
Top Losers
Midnight (NIGHT) declined 9.43% to $0.0442. The downdraft left NIGHT with a $734.13M market cap. The drawdown paced today’s laggards and contrasted sharply with gains in DeFi and privacy tokens. Liquidity at this price band can exaggerate moves as percentage swings translate quickly at low absolute levels.
Rain (RAIN) dropped 7.63% to $0.007685. The token’s market cap now stands at $3.68B despite the selloff. Price pressure placed RAIN among the day’s weakest large-cap names. Intraday ranges remained wide as bids faded across several lower-priced assets.
Bittensor (TAO) fell 4.12% to $313.15. Bittensor is a decentralized machine-learning network where TAO incentivizes model contributions and access to subnets. The move set TAO’s market cap at $3.01B. Volatility has been common across AI-adjacent tokens, and TAO tracked that beta lower today.
Siren (SIREN) slid 4.11% to $1.68. After the decline, SIREN’s market cap is $1.22B. The token spent the session under consistent supply as sellers leaned on rallies. Range compression earlier in the week gave way to a cleaner break lower during today’s move.
Aptos (APT) eased 3.56% to $0.9011. Aptos is a Layer-1 network built with the Move language, designed for parallel execution and low-latency settlement. The retreat brought APT’s market cap to $714.74M. The pullback arrived as several base-layer tokens lagged DeFi and privacy plays on the day.
Market Outlook
The spread between the top gainer at +6.34% and the biggest loser at -9.43% points to rotation, with DEX, privacy, and L1 names moving in opposite directions. Liquidity concentrated around a handful of mid- to large-cap tokens, with MemeCore at a $4.02B market cap and Zcash at $3.82B among the session’s standouts.
Into the month- and quarter-end, watch how majors trade versus alt strength, especially if DeFi leadership persists while L1s lag. Near term, monitor exchange volumes and any protocol-specific updates that could shift flows between categories.
