Provenance Blockchain was the only listed top gainer, rising 6.61% over 24 hours and gaining 23.21% over seven days. No specific HASH headline was identified to explain the increase, and the available evidence pointed to no clear broader-market catalyst.

Pepe fell 12.48% over 24 hours and 11.77% over seven days, with the cited explanation pointing to broader risk-off trading after Bitcoin was rejected at $75,000.
