While the high-cap altcoins saw steady growth, several mid-to-high-cap assets delivered outsized returns. STO rose the fastest, jumping 75%, while ALGO was up 17%. Additionally, Zcash (ZEC) saw a 7% gain, the largest among high-cap privacy coins.
The rally, however, was not universal. Digital assets such as TRX (1.5%), BCH (1.5%), and CC (3.1%) posted underwhelming gains, failing to keep pace with the broader market momentum. The most drastic move came from SIREN, which bucked the bullish trend entirely by plunging 82%.
