Ape and Pepe led the reported gainers, rising 7.92% over 24 hours, while Pepe advanced 6.15%. No coin-specific headlines were found for either move, leaving their gains without a clear identifiable catalyst amid flat overall market conditions and fearful sentiment.

Rain was the largest reported loser at 11.75%, followed by Plasma at 9.22%, Pearl at 7.71%, and Bitway at 6.59%.
