Gainers

XDC Network (XDC) jumped 13.63% to $0.0371 with a market cap of $733.07M. The enterprise-focused, EVM-compatible chain has positioned itself around trade finance rails such as TradeFinex and hybrid public–private deployments. Its delegated proof-of-stake design targets low-cost settlement for tokenized invoices and letters of credit. Today’s move pushed XDC to the top of the altcoin leaderboard by percentage gain.

Internet Computer (ICP) rose 6.80% to $2.53, bringing its market cap to $1.39B. No specific news has been tied to the move. ICP backs DFINITY’s push for web-scale smart contracts that run entirely on-chain, with canister-based computation and native hosting of assets and apps. The advance adds to a week of choppy range trading across higher-beta names.

Aptos (APT) added 3.67% to $1.01, valuing the network at a $785.22M market cap. The Layer-1 uses the Move smart contract language and aims for high throughput via parallel execution, pursuing the same developer stack once explored by Diem. Liquidity remains concentrated on major centralized venues, while on-chain activity continues to center on NFT mints and gaming experiments. The recovery keeps APT hovering just above the $1 mark after recent weakness.

Mantle (MNT) gained 3.66% to $0.6894 at a $2.26B market cap. The token governs Mantle, an Ethereum Layer-2 using a modular stack and separate data availability layer designed for cheaper transactions. Traders pointed to broader altcoin rotation. MNT’s climb contrasted with drawdowns in several DeFi names, suggesting dispersion across sectors.

Jupiter (JUP) rose 2.78% to $0.1803 with a $630.82M market cap. JUP is the governance token for Jupiter, the leading Solana DEX aggregator routing order flow across AMMs and order books. Price action in JUP often reflects appetite for Solana-based trading and liquidity mining cycles. The advance left JUP mid-pack among gainers by absolute return but kept it in positive territory for the session.

Losers

Aave (AAVE) slid -8.58% to $110.02, the day’s largest percentage drop among tracked names, with a market cap of $1.67B. The DeFi lending protocol spans Ethereum and multiple Layer-2s via Aave V3, where deposit and borrow rates shift with utilization. The drawdown retraced recent rallies in on-chain lending tokens, with risk appetite uneven across spot and perps venues. AAVE’s move widened dispersion between DeFi and infrastructure-focused assets in the session.

Provenance Blockchain (HASH) fell -8.39% to $0.0149, bringing its market cap to $822.59M. HASH powers Provenance, a chain built for financial services use cases such as asset tokenization and loan servicing. The network, originally developed around enterprise-grade rails, targets regulated issuers and secondary markets. Today’s slide pushed HASH into the day’s bottom tier despite steady interest in real-world asset narratives.

Stable (STABLE) declined -6.17% to $0.0294 at a $603.56M market cap. The token traded under three cents after the drop, erasing earlier-week gains. The move placed STABLE third among decliners by percentage loss over the past 24 hours. Price action remained choppy, with swings outpacing larger-cap peers.

MemeCore (M) retreated -5.37% to $1.42, putting its market cap at $2.47B. The name aligns with the meme-token segment, where flows are highly sentiment-driven and quick reversals are common. M’s decline followed a brisk run earlier in the cycle, leaving it still sizable by capitalization among theme tokens. Intraday bounces were limited as sellers controlled the tape.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) dropped -5.15% to $31.16 with a $7.43B market cap. HYPE is associated with Hyperliquid’s derivatives ecosystem, which emphasizes high-throughput order books and onchain settlement. The pullback arrived after a strong multi-session advance, trimming recent outperformance versus many alt-L1 tokens. Even after the slide, HYPE remained one of the larger names among newer exchange-linked assets.

Market Outlook

The dispersion was wide: the top gainer rose 13.63% while the biggest loser shed 8.58%. Mixed performance across sectors saw DeFi under pressure as AAVE dropped, while infrastructure and L2 governance names like MNT and execution-focused chains such as ICP and XDC advanced.

Into midweek, watch Bitcoin’s range and spot ETF flows for cues on beta, along with U.S. macro prints on the calendar. Token-specific catalysts remain thin on this slate, so volatility may cluster around majors and liquidity hubs rather than idiosyncratic headlines.
