Altcoins saw broad-based declines, with XRP down 6.21% and SOL down 3.58%. The Altcoin Season Index stands at 21, indicating extremely cautious risk sentiment.
* Trending Tokens: Technical breakouts drove ACE up 22% over the past 24 hours. FHE surged 98% in the last 24 hours, with its recent rally primarily fueled by Chainlink’s newly launched FHE privacy bridge. Somnia highlighted its EVM-compatible Layer 1 technological innovations in a recent exchange interview, pushing its token up 8% over the past 24 hours.
* Alpha Insights: Visa announced the launch of a stablecoin advisory practice, offering strategic guidance and implementation solutions for stablecoins. Ripple revealed plans to expand RLUSD to Ethereum Layer 2 networks, further optimizing transaction speed and cost efficiency.
