Top gainers

RaveDAO rose 37.62% to $8.53, the day’s standout move among mid-to-large caps. Its market cap reached $2.09B, putting it ahead of Aave’s $1.53B despite RAVE’s smaller footprint across venues. The surge arrived as majors also firmed, with ETH up 7.84%, suggesting risk appetite skewed toward higher beta names. There were no clear project-specific announcements during the session.

Aave gained 9.28% to $101.15. The DeFi lending protocol’s token governs risk parameters and other features on the platform. No specific news has been tied to the move. AAVE’s market cap stood at $1.53B as the token reclaimed a three-digit handle.

Stable advanced 8.14% to $0.0272. Despite its name, the asset is not pegged to $1 and traded in pennies with a $590.93M market cap. The upswing pushed STABLE into the top gainer cohort alongside larger capitalization tokens.

Ethereum added 7.84% to $2,373.25. The network secures smart contracts and rollups, with ETH used for gas fees and staking. ETH’s market cap was $286.53B, reinforcing its lead among programmable settlement assets.

Algorand increased 7.78% to $0.1103. The Layer-1 chain uses Pure Proof-of-Stake and fast finality for settlements. Its market cap reached $983.62M, keeping it just shy of the billion-dollar threshold.

Top losers

MemeCore slipped 4.55% to $2.73. Even after the drawdown, M’s $4.80B market cap dwarfs most mid-caps, reflecting persistent interest in meme-driven tokens. Price action in this segment remained choppy as capital favored larger alts such as ETH on the day.

Bittensor eased 2.27% to $256.27. TAO underpins a decentralized machine learning network that rewards model contributions with on-chain incentives. Its market cap stood at $2.46B. The retreat contrasted with broad alt strength but remained relatively modest in percentage terms.

Polkadot fell 1.70% to $1.21. The network links parachains under shared security, with DOT used for governance, staking, and parachain economics. Market cap printed $2.04B as DOT lagged the session’s top gainers.

Siren edged down 1.68% to $0.7958. The token’s market cap totaled $571.69M. No headline driver emerged during the window.

Pi Network declined 1.38% to $0.1650. The project centers on a mobile mining app and community distribution model. Its market cap came in at $1.68B as PI underperformed on a mostly green day for prominent alts.

Market outlook

The dispersion was stark: the top gainer rose 37.62% while the biggest loser shed 4.55%. Ethereum’s 7.84% climb alongside Aave’s 9.28% advance pointed to renewed interest in large-cap DeFi and smart contract exposure, even as selective names like Bittensor (-2.27%) and Polkadot (-1.70%) lagged.

Traders will watch whether ETH’s strength feeds into sustained alt rotation or fades with profit taking, and how memecoins digest the day’s underperformance. Near-term catalysts to monitor include shifts in liquidity, ETH/BTC relative performance, and any regulatory or ETF flow headlines that could redirect risk.
