Among the biggest gainers, Quack AI (Q) led with a 13.13% increase, attributed to broader market sentiment rather than specific news.

MemeCore (M) was the largest loser, with a 17.76% decline, likely due to prevailing market conditions rather than any specific news. Pearl (PEARL) also experienced a significant drop of 7.55%, though no clear catalyst was identified. Kite (KITE) and Derive (DRV) both fell by around 4.8%, in line with the broader market downturn.

Market sentiment remained neutral, with the Fear & Greed index at 54. This indicates a balanced investor outlook, despite the recent market cap decline. Bitcoin's continued dominance at 60.1% suggests that investor confidence in the leading cryptocurrency remains strong.
