The cryptocurrency market witnessed a significant shift in sentiment over the past 24 hours, with major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum falling sharply. Bitcoin dropped by 1.9 percent, reaching $105,817, while Ethereum experienced a decline of 3.8 percent to settle at $2,622 as trading activity exceeded $23 billion. This sell-off was attributed to broader macroeconomic factors, leading some altcoins to defy market trends and record impressive gains. Dogecoin, for instance, saw the steepest drop among major coins, falling 8.7 percent to $0.2051. However, several lesser-known altcoins performed exceptionally well. 280.5% surge in Pocket Network (POKT), a prominent player in decentralized payments, has propelled it to trade at $0.0483 with a trading volume of over $27.6 million. Nobody Sausage (NOBODY) soared by 57.1 percent to $0.04868, followed closely by Finvesta (FINVESTA), which saw a price increase of 37.9 percent to reach $34.98. 32.9% growth in Livepeer (LPT), reaching $7.42 with a trading volume exceeding $300 million, adds further evidence of this trend. Despite the downturn for major coins like Solana and BNB, some altcoins experienced gains exceeding 100%, highlighting shifting investor behavior towards low-cap tokens as market volatility continues.
